    The iconic Pink Wall on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles, California is a must when visiting LA. The funny thing about it is that this is much more than just a pink block on the corner of the street, it's a landmark. This is Paul Smith's LA flagship store for men and women's designer fashion. Most people come here just to take pictures. It is definitely one of the most Instagrammed walls in LA.


    I personally dislike the color pink but it is just one of the coolest buildings to come by and it makes for great pictures just because it's a solid color. So of course I indulged in the Instagramming phenomenon to get the perfect cluster of photos. I was with two of my friends, just like so many other people that came with groups of their friends or family members with no shame or embarrassment to take some pictures. People would spend upwards of 10 minutes trying to get the perfect pictures for everyone they came with, unlike a typical location for many people where they may spend a minute or two just to capture a quick picture and leave. It was like an entire attraction as if one was visiting the Hollywood Sign.


    Since this day was sort of focused on taking pictures all around town and specifically visiting this wall I wanted to be feminine with my outfit . Pink is just so girly to me so I wanted to sort of go along with the feel of my background. I wore this cute mini plaid dress with a black mesh bodysuit for layering and a way to give the outfit some edge. I paired it with my black leather jacket that I didn't wear for too long because it was about 65 degrees and very sunny. I completed the rest of my look with black accents like my shoes, backpack, and sunglasses because otherwise I would have looked like a little barbie doll, which is not my style lol.


    If you're ever in LA make sure to stop by and see what all the excitement is about. It's even fun just watching how other people are utilizing the wall and what kind of poses they are doing for their own pictures.
