Self Love

Pieces to Spicy Up Your Life and Make You Feel Cute and Confident

Well, it’s finally February and we all know what that means… Time for another pointless holiday that reminds us of how single or alone we are! But, it doesn’t have to be that way. This year, get ahead of that feeling by falling in love with yourself. All the following items found at our 2nd Street Costa Mesa location are made to uplift yourself and inspire self love. Feel your truest and sexiest in these clothes, because there’s no time like the present to love yourself.

This super cute crop from Unif will have you feeling yourself — literally. I mean, look how soft and smooth that velvet looks. This crop will have you feeling that Valentines self love. You may even take that much needed bath with that neglected Lush bath bomb you’ve been putting off for months. Just remember to clean your tub before hand. Most importantly indulge yourself; hell, you’ll look like Maddie from Euphoria, so treat yourself like the baddie you are. Maybe you too will find that magnificent coat from Goodfellas. Who knows, anything’s possible with this top. Get it here at 2nd Street Costa Mesa for only twenty nine dollars.

These floral print flare capris are a great cut, and who wouldn’t love this classic Chinese silk print? And, we all love a good splash of gold in the fabric for that extra flair. Maybe these pants will inspire self love by imploring you to explore other cultures, read about silk worms, eat some amazing Chinese food. Exploration is good for the heart and your fashion sense. So live a little and get out there and get these pants for twenty dollars.

Next, we have this sexy serpent print dress. Tonight, you get to be the lady in red. I know there’s really nowhere to go out and wear this dress, but we can always pretend. There’s no reason we can’t get dressed up for ourselves, experiment as a mixologist, and make some super fun cocktails. Plus, you’ll save the forty dollars you would’ve spent on two drinks that would have been mostly ice. So treat yourself to a night in, curate a rocking playlist, and imagine you are at your favorite bar. Have some fun with it, remember the best dates can be with yourself! This dress could be on you for twenty dollars.

You’ll find that these funky leather boots are full of surprises! They are genuine leather and perfectly worn in. They have definitely seen many o’ motorcycle bars in their heyday. Oh yes, these boots were made for walking and riding. They’re no backseat rider; they’re the “take charge” type of boot; they’ve got their own bike; and they don’t play by the rules. So take a walk on the wild side and step into these boots for thirty three dollars.

Continuing, we have this button down by Japanese brand Evisu. It’s got color and a dope pattern that creates movement. This shirt is bursting with joy. A nice, light Rayon material allows you to sweat it out on the hypothetical dance floor without sweat stains. This shirt also reads “drunk annoying guy at festival,” but will read better when repurposed into a laid back Sunday shirt you can just through on to run errands. So relax — this one could be yours for sixty-nine dollars.

Work pants have made a comeback and these have surpassed the mark. These white classic Dickies have been transformed to a boomer’s acid flashback dream. They are super groovy and look like they would be walking down Venice beach (in a good way) in the seventies or in the present. They even come complete with a traditional Dog town belt: a good old shoelace to hold up your pants while you're in the bowl getting 'vert. Plus, someone already did the work of tie dying them and wearing them in for you. These pants are an unbelievably low price of five dollars — that’s right, FIVE DOLLARS.

Last, we have this plaid wool skirt that could turn you into the sexy librarian of your dreams. It comes complete with a little, discrete slit up the back that provides a little bit of provocation to an otherwise innocent skirt. Yes, it is a little wrinkled but that’s nothing a steamer couldn’t fix and nothing sexier then some freshly steamed linens with no creases. So curl up with your favorite naughty novel in your new skirt for sixteen dollars.

We hope you are all doing well and most importantly we hope you are all taking out the time to practice self love. Thanks for joining us here and remember, retail therapy can be constructive, just know how to keep it healthy.
