Fashion at The Park.

First I think you desereve a background for you to fully understand why Im going to write what Im going to write. Sugar Shack and Krazy Mary’s boutiques are sister boutiques who to me are the foundation of the fashion growth in sacramento. If I could, these two places would be the only two places I would shop. They offer local designers such as one of my favorites Pork Chop Rules, and they also offer the expensive lables. Sugar Shack is special and provides funky clothes and Krazy Mary’s is more high end but still a little casual. Last winter I attended what seemed like a private fashion show put on by the boutiques upstairs from a Thai Restaurant that was a lounge and bar. People were shoulder to shoulder but regaurdless the area could not fit that much people. There was about five local designers that show cased there designs and it was incredible, the dj played soulful jams. It was okae even for an akward person like me.

Now lets get to this fashion show that I currently attended. The park ultra lounge is a night club on L and 15th street. I had only been there once before for my sisters birthday and I decided that it really wasn’t my scene. For these boutiques however as a funky clothes junkie I might do anything. So here I go to this club and I unfortunately was sadly disappointed in my city at this moment. Where did all these trashy girls come from. YUCK! I had never seen so many distastefully dressed girls in my life. I can fully admit that I might be the tacky queen but these girls were killing me no style just rolled out of target from before they offered fashion forward clothes.

Oh gosh and then the music, ok it was that typical runway music but it just didn’t match with the boutiques I know and love. The club its self is structurally beautiful but the show was outside and the cigarette smoke was going to give me an asthma attack. Elbows were in my face and once again there was drink spilled on my shoes. I could not get into it and maybe its just because Im self conscious and a little anti-social when it comes to these half drunken night clubs but I swear that I put all the effort into having a positive attitude. The clothes I absolutely loved especially the denim shorts outfit pictured above. The dresses were flowy and nice. I would have much rather it be another venue next time however.
