after spending last week in warm and sunny los angeles, i was kind of dreading my arrival back home in the bay area, anticipating a very chilly reception upon my return. but to my surprise, i woke up yesterday morning to the most gloriously (albeit unseasonably) warm weather in oakland. it was so hot that i decided to pretend that i was on summer vacation, and threw on this ridiculously cute tropical print dress to celebrate. perhaps this has something to do with the fact that i just got the film developed from my hawaiian vacation back in july, and i was feeling a bit nostalgic. and i suppose the stars aligned on this opportunity, considering that i bought this dress last week on a whim, wondering how many months it would be until i would actually have the chance to wear it!
dress: trashy diva trixie sarong
shoes: vintage candies from pretty penny vintage in oakland
bag: thrifted vintage woven straw tote
sunglasses: rag & bone via gilt groupe
lipstick: ysl rouge pure couture in le orange

So so adorable!! I love the colors and the print of this dress, it’s so funky! Ahh I’m in love with it!
how amazing that you can still get away with wearing a summer dress while we’re all in sweatshirts and sweaters out here!!! I love the dress though.
haha, i know. it actually feels very wrong. but i still have to enjoy it while it lasts. we so rarely get a hot day in the area, even when it’s actually summer!
I love this one! This is the perfect weekend to be rocking such summery ware. That dress is amazing!
That is one of my fav Trashy dresses this season and it looks awesome on you.
i LOVE this outfit, right down to the bag!
Embrace summer for as long as you can! Even if it’s 50 degrees and windy in Oakland. Turn up the heat and dance around your house in your bathing suit.
That is a great, fun dress! The hot weather here also took me by surprise yesterday and I was wearing jeans and mid-calf boots because I hadn’t left the house all day and didn’t realize that it was so warm.
oh girl, that happens to me all the time!!! the weather here is so unpredictable that i am only ever dressed correctly about 50 percent of the time! i feel your pain.
I love the dress!
