Floral Midi Skirt and Ruffled Tank

_MG_0408
It’s only mid-June and this Southern California heat already has me longing for days spent poolside, with a nice, icy cocktail in my hand. Until my next vacation (Palm Springs in a few weeks!), where I can make that dream a reality, I will be attempting to bear this sweltering season in vented, flowy skirts and bare tanks. I love this particular skirt because it features virtually every bright, summery color, making it so fun to plan an outfit around. A couple of subtly shiny pieces of jewelry and a vintage handbag and I’m all set 🙂

Neon Florals and Rebecca Minkoff Bag

DFT 2006

I’m so in love with the palette of this look, from the neon shades of the floral-print skirt to the icy lilac of my newest handbag acquisition from Rebecca Minkoff. I grounded those vibrant colors with black sandals and this great asymmetrical top, and I loved the effect. I wore this outfit for wandering around downtown in my city, sipping on an iced coffee and window-shopping.

For our recent meeting at a local eatery for happy hour and project planning, I went for a look that was relaxed and breezy, which is pretty much a requirement now that the heat is really kicking in around southern California!

Carmen Marc Valvo Midi Dress

I’m still undecided on this one! It was a recent rental from Rent the Runway, and I guess I expected it to be more youthful based on the pictures online.. I tried to bring a little fun to the look with gold chain jewelry and these burgundy heeled booties. The material of the dress has that drapery-chic sheen to it, but the print is really pretty and I adore the colors. The length is perfect for me, but I seem to be lacking a bit of generosity in the bust department to make the dress it’s most flattering (there was some extra fabric up top). The other thing is where I would wear it to.. Too fancy for brunch or work, a bit too much of a look for a date, and not quite glam enough for a nighttime event. A daytime shopping event would be perfect, because even though the shoes feature one of the highest heels that I own, they’re actually pretty comfortable!
