omg tgif you guyz! i don’t know about you, but i am particularly excited about the weekend this time around. it’s been a long week of staying indoors a little bit more than i’d like to, and i’m kinda ready to get out there and see the world. and by “see the world,” i mean sea world. no wait. i mean, go to the flea market on saturday, and then off on a sunday trip up to my favorite little brick oven bakery and go for a drive on a secret little windy road that opens up to bodega bay. and i’m gonna try to take my camera with me, because i realized that i never share my little excursions with you!

and so, in celebration of friday, i decided to have a little fun and get all matchy-matchy with this outfit. instead of trying to bring in a bunch of elements to break it all up, i opted to keep it simple and try out this bright shade of orange lipstick instead. i’ve always kinda hated lipstick because it feels so thick and heavy on my lips, bit i keep seeing cute curls rockin awesome colors and pulling it off so well. i think i’d like to try bubble gum pink and maybe a lighter shade of sherbet orange… let the experimentation begin!

wearing:
vintage polka dot blouse, thrifted
mini dress, h&m
saddle shoes, payless

  1. so cute! that polka dot blouse is adorable and i love how you layer your strapless dresses over pretty blouses. i tried it once without success. i may try it again though. love those saddle oxfords!

  2. Love the outfit! That dress those lovely oxfords – i die! Not a big fan lipstick myself but your orange lips make your outfit POP! Happy friday :)

  3. I think you look grreeeatt with that lipstick on! I always kinda hated lipstick, too, because I hate the way it leaves marks on glasses when you drink something and I never wanted to subject my boyfriend to having lipstick on his face when I kiss him. But now that I have nobody to kiss, maybe I'll venture out and try a shade or two!

  4. What an adorable outfit! The polka dots and the tube dress looks like they belong with each other forever and ever. And the saddle shoes! I'm so excited to wear saddle shoes everyday for summer.

  5. I have totally been on a lipstick kick lately too. I was never into it before but suddenly I find myself experimenting with shades collected from free gifts over the years. It is actually quite fun. Love the outfit & have a wonderful weekend!

  6. the orange lipstick looks great on you! and I like how you kept the rest simple with such a bright color. I used to feel the same way about lipstick until I started using chanel, they're so light. ^.^

  7. I totally admire your dedication to vintage!
    AAAAAAnd, I wore scarlet red lipstick out last night and felt like a diva! It really makes of breaks a look, but complements vintage digs so well <3
    Ps- i have trouble with the stay power, of course, but i haven't tried liner.. It's not so much the outside of the lips bleeding, but the inner mouth from talking so much… If you have any solutions let us girls know, cause we want to see the pink lipstick!

  8. Um going to payless and getting me some saddle shoes stat! I used to have a pair as a kid, funny how its all coming back! You look adorable!

  9. Totally chic! I love that cool pair of shoes. Hey Cali, you've inspired my todays outfit with one of your trends: turbans. So if you comment i'll feel so lucky.

  10. oh, flea market? are you headed to the white elephant sale?? it's the best! i'll be there bright and early…

  11. Get me to the nearest payless! I grew up wearing saddle shoes and have been wanted to revive them for quite some time now. In first grade, I had a pink pair and my friend had a black pair; we would make our shoes "kiss!" Ha.

    Also, that blouse looks great paired with that dress.

  12. I too always disliked the heavy feeling of lipstick, but since I found this new brand I have been enjoying it more and am having a lot of fun trying new colors. Next on my list is definitely barbie pink.

    I saw a california bear tshirt at forever 21 the other day and I almost bought it for you because it was so perfect!

  13. love love love the shoes! i have them too :) i had spent years looking for a pair of vegan saddle shoes and low and behold, payless came to the rescue!
