Desert Floral

The summer days continue to be sweltering and unbearable here in inland Southern California. On days like these I am always reminded that I live in a desert. Lately, I’ve been dreaming about escaping to my favorite place in the world, the Central California coast. Honestly, as sappy as it sounds, this region has my heart. Ha! I’d love to share on this blog, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be making the trek north this year, sadly.

Living in a desert does have some benefits, for it makes a pretty backdrop. This empty little space is located a few blocks away from my house, situated between homes. I bought this high-low floral pleated dress from Target a year ago, and even though I wore it a few times during the winter, I consider it to be a perfect summer dress. I accessorized using my absolute favorite oversized glasses from Forever 21, in addition to these strappy black flats, also from Target (about 80% of my closet was purchased from Target, I’m obsessed).
