Summer in January

Julie Brown dress, Urban Outfitters top, Banana Republic flats, Vintage clutch, Ray-Ban sunglasses

The weather in L.A. has been gorgeous lately-sunny, clear, and 80 degrees.  While I'm tempted to throw on all my sun dresses and sandals, something feels awkward about wearing summer clothes in January.  Last weekend I decided to remix one of my favorite maxi dresses by layering it with this plaid shirt (last seen here) and loved the look and versatility of the combination.  It worked well for easing me into the warm temperatures and hopefully by this weekend I'll be ready for complete summer attire (weather permitting).

Honeymoon Dress

I know you've seen bits and pieces of this dress, but with the time I've spent wearing it in the last two years, I felt it was only write to honor it with an entire post. I bought it right before we got married over two years ago. It was one of many dresses I bought for my honeymoon, but this was the only one that needed a justification based on the price. I have to say, I've worn this dress more times than I could imagine, possibly more than I've worn anything else I've ever owned. I definitely think I got my money's worth and continue to love it, always feel comfortable and stylish when I wear it, and I can't see that ending anytime soon. As I said before here, I adore maxi dresses for their comfort and easy style and I'm so happy they're still around for another summer!
