today i am so excited to have my first ever guest blogger here at calivintage! there are so many incredible bloggers out there that i admire so much, that i thought it would be nice to share some of my favorites in a new ongoing series! to kick things off, i invited one of my best blogger buddies, rebecca of the clothes horse, to share a look with us!

“when erin asked me to write a guest post for her, i immediately thought i should try to pull out a somewhat “calivintage” style outfit. i don’t know if i quite achieved that goal, but i did diverge from my own love of easy dresses in favor of separates. i’ve had these shorts for nearly a year and i live in virginia now where it’s quite warm, but this is the first time i’ve worn them! sometimes it’s really hard to get yourself out of your comfort zone sartorially. however, i do try to attempt it from time to time. i rather like the classic feel of this look and the bright pop of color on an overcast day.

i took these pictures at a little spot overlooking the beach. it’s quite near my home and i like wandering over there in the evening to watch the waves roll in and feel the ocean breeze against my skin. virginia has been absolutely lovely this late spring. it was a long cold winter that never seemed to end (compounded for me personally by a very old, very drafty house that would not stay warm!), so i’m quite excited to now enjoy warm temperatures and sunshine. i might just get some color in my skin this year afterall…”
