ah, it’s like a breath of fresh air to be back at home and fully settled, taking my daily outfit pictures on the rooftop again! this is the little outfit i put together for the hair party i mentioned in my last post. and to be perfectly honest, i threw this together because all of my laundry was in dirty piles on the floor and these were some of the only clean clothes i had available to wear. but i’ve said this before: laundry day is often the most creative day for me because i don’t have all of my go-to items available. that means i’m forced to think outside of the box and experiment with something a little bit different than what i might normally wear.

Cute outfit! I love how you layered a blouse under your dress.
love your hair and the post below!
I really like this combo of the tights and matching shoes, its so chic
aaahhh i love how you worked around with the prints and patterns plus the brown tights!!! :D i love it! :D
i really like the shape of the dress and how you've styled it, but since its such a pure navy it doesn't seem to go as well with the muted tones of your top and tights. but that could very easily be me just being picky.
i love this outfit! the polka dot dress is adorable, and so is the blouse underneath.

This is darling! I love how the colors of the tights and shoes create one uninterrupted line.

Great layering! I need to try putting a shirt under a dress at some point!
thank god for laundry days!! i just did laundry last night too and it feels really good to have all my go-to pieces back :) but i totally agree with you–this week was pretty hard for me hehe :) you look darling erin! i love the photos from the hair party too! you make me want to change my bob into something more dramatic!
i love it, it's simply adorable :)
Great look! I have some strapless dresses that I'd love to wear, but it's been too cold..maybe I'll try something like this! Thanks for the inspiration.
i love this outfit, such a great combo of patterns! xoxo
love the polka dots and the lace top put together!
That modcloth top has to be one of my absolute favorites. Love it! I love how you combined everything here.
That is an adorable look and I love the contrast that the belt/tights/shoes give with the polka dots. "Laundry Day" definitely appears to be fashion-friendly fun in your house.

I have to admit, each of your "laundry day" outfits that you've shown I love! I think this one is my favorite; I love the contrast of the delicate lace top against the tailored polka dot dress–a really beautiful combination!

so beautiful outfit!
well, aren't you amazing!? i love your face. xx alexandra
Genius layering with the top and dress. And I like how you've been color blocking with those heels and tights lately.
The sky always looks so pretty in your pictures. I constantly miss the Bay Area. I'm a San Francisco transplant to Minnesota. Shockingly 30 degrees is a nice winter day now for me. I never thought I'd adjust!
Enjoy your pretty CA sky!

Wow laundry day works for you! This is PERFECT. The pattern-mixing is just genius. <3
Love the polka dots and am coveting the oxfords. You're outfits are so unique and cleverly put together, I'm always inspired after reading your blog- it makes me excited to move out to California and enjoy the sunshine!
what sweet layering and I love the unexpected color of the tights you chose!
love this! for some reason it reminds me of miu miu ss2010. anyhow, tres belle!
I really love this look. The femininity of the lace and polka dots go really well together.
i think you look just fantastic!
hang cool teddy bear.
