Hello, loves!
Let me start by saying that this weather is drivin’ me nuts! I know, I know, it’s Southern California and I should just be accustomed to it all by now. However, the 92 and sunny one day to 60 and raining the next just does not allow one to plan outfits properly! I’m not even saying for photo shoots, just for life in general. The day that we shot this monochromatic summer look, which by the way, I’m kind of obsessed with, it was at least 90 degrees out. In the shade, it was completely tolerable, and when the cool breeze washed over us, it was even blissful. Flash forward to today and it is raining and just dreary outside. I know that we need the rain, that I’m fine with. But I wish we could just ease in to it, instead of switching from flip flops to boots from one day to the next, that’s all I’m saying!
On to the look of the day.. While at the Boss Notes event this past weekend, I took it upon myself to explore all that the Westfield Topanga mall had to offer. Lucky me, I wandered in to Anthropologie during their sale-on-sale and found a couple of super cute tops for only $30 each! This drapey, buttery sleeveless top was one of them. I knew right off the bat that I wanted to go monochromatic with it, although I’ll probably also end up pairing it with a printed pencil skirt. I’ve been wearing my Old Navy black skinnies constantly, so why break the habit. To finish the look, I added this black & white bag from Poverty Flats by Rian, and these fantastic wedges from Diane Von Furstenberg, both recent acquisitions from the most recent Nordstrom Rack Clear the Rack sale. Such great finds.
Side note, as I’m sure you can tell especially from the last pic, I’ve decided to keep this blonde train moving, and might even end up going back to my, ahem, roots, of near platinum/baby blonde. I really missed being blonde and I’m loving these fresh locks for summer.

Speaking of changing up your ‘do, do you like to freshen up your color for the warmer months? Either brighter or warmer? Or do you keep it the same throughout the year?
