guest post: the clothes horse

IMG_0341

today i am so excited to have my first ever guest blogger here at calivintage! there are so many incredible bloggers out there that i admire so much, that i thought it would be nice to share some of my favorites in a new ongoing series! to kick things off, i invited one of my best blogger buddies, rebecca of the clothes horse, to share a look with us!

“when erin asked me to write a guest post for her, i immediately thought i should try to pull out a somewhat “calivintage” style outfit. i don’t know if i quite achieved that goal, but i did diverge from my own love of easy dresses in favor of separates. i’ve had these shorts for nearly a year and i live in virginia now where it’s quite warm, but this is the first time i’ve worn them! sometimes it’s really hard to get yourself out of your comfort zone sartorially. however, i do try to attempt it from time to time. i rather like the classic feel of this look and the bright pop of color on an overcast day.

i took these pictures at a little spot overlooking the beach. it’s quite near my home and i like wandering over there in the evening to watch the waves roll in and feel the ocean breeze against my skin. virginia has been absolutely lovely this late spring. it was a long cold winter that never seemed to end (compounded for me personally by a very old, very drafty house that would not stay warm!), so i’m quite excited to now enjoy warm temperatures and sunshine. i might just get some color in my skin this year afterall…”

  1. guest posts just fot the sake of it, how great! i like that she tried to pull of something “calivintage” looks like something you would wear to me! i’m so jealous of rebeccas beach spot so close to her home too. watching teh waves at night while the suns ets sounds perfect.

    1. yep! i think i’m going to do them every other thursday, so it won’t be overload, but it will be a nice opportunity for me to give props to my favorite bloggers! and of course, you had better bet i’ll be knocking on your door, too!

  2. I love everything about this post. Your blog and hers are both some of my favorites! And her outfit is just so perfect. Plus the scenery is amazing. I wish i could just go out to watch the waves roll in.

  3. Absolutely beautiful! i’ve been trying to score some Salvatore flats for the longest time so i am super jealous but in a good way :D

  4. rebecca is one of my daily style reads (as are you, of course) so it was delightful to see her turn up in your neck of the woods too!

    p.s. every time i see a sartorial pic of her, it makes me want to dye my dirty blonde hair a bright shade of red. seriously. every time.

  5. excellent post, the photos and outfit I’ll return to again I’m sure. rebecca really looks like she’s stepped into your domain! looking forward to more guest posts erin. it’s clear to see the frienship networks that have formed in areas of the blogosphere because the same girls keep appearing on each other’s sites! but i imagine you’ll feature bloggers i haven’t come across before so i’m excited for that :)
