oh hello! i just got back from a quick weekend trip to visit my family in southern california. i didn’t take a ton of photos, but i promise to be share the few snapshots i did take while i was there. the weather was hot (reaching highs in the 90s), and it was good to see family and familiar places from my past.
but before we get into that, i thought i’d catch up and share an outfit from last week. and yes, it’s another shift dress! no matter how hard i try to stay away from this almost universally unflattering form, i find myself collecting these shapeless dresses and wearing them more often than i care to admit. though i’ve certainly shared a good portion of my ever-growing collection on my blog (see here). they’re just so easy and comfortable, and they evoke that playful 1960s spirit that i love so much. they also have a tendency to create phantom belly bumps and emphasized arms… but, try as i might, i’m still an absolute sucker for a shift dress and don’t think i’ll be giving up the habit any time soon!

I really am in love with the colors in these photos. So vibrant! Also, I’m definitely eying those see-through shoes – think I might have to get them eeeek! Looks like you had fun in socal, too. Sometimes it can be nice to have really hot weather for a change… glad you got to make it down for a trip!

cute dress and shoes!
i love this dress and i love that rich espresso colored bag! i just got a vintage coach willis bag in that same color and i looove it!
also, i noticed you’re originally from redlands. i’m from riverside (now happily residing in sf). we were practically neighbors… and still are i guess! hope you had fun in socal! <3
p.s. i too am obsessed with shift dresses. i'm currently creating a must have list for my blog and a shift dress made the list.

i wish it was summer here in New Zealand, i miss wearing dresses with no stockings :( very pretty pattern on this outfit
I think these dresses look amazing on you! especially this one. flawless!
this dress and these shoes are magical!!! love the print
You hair (awesome fringe!), lipstick, dress, and sandals are to die for. You are such a doll!
thank you! i’ve been hacking away at my fringe between haircuts now that it’s gotten so long and requires less maintenance. i’m always a little apprehensive about doing it myself, but i don’t mind if they’re just a tad bit choppy!
Love this dress & pattern! So cute!
you’re so pretty!kisses from Italy
Love the shape of that dress!
