Fashion

The weather in LA lately has been quite warm. We were in the 80s the last week, so it’s definitely time to break out the spring and summer clothes. I love wearing maxi dresses because they are so easy to wear. They breathe and flow so well. I found this red floral print maxi for under $30, so I decided I wanted to share some of my favorite red floral maxi dresses with you.

Spring has officially come to LA. This week, our weather is in the 80s and I’m loving it! Although I’m still spending most of my time in loungewear, I did break out a few dresses over the last week. I decided I needed to add a few boho dresses to my wardrobe, and I’m so glad I found this one for less than $30.

Since we will all be home for the next month or two, maybe longer, now is a great time to try out a new loungewear set. Since I’m working from home, I recently ordered a whole bunch of cute loungewear, which was affordable but still stylish. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people wear frumpy loungewear or pajamas out of the house.

If you had asked me two weeks ago when I shot this Shein look if I’d be talking about anything other than cute floral dresses, I wouldn’t have believed you. If you would have told me that many people are afraid our economy is going to collapse and you could score major COVID retail sales, I would have asked you, “what’s COVID?”

When I scheduled this post, I thought I would be talking about Shein floral midi dresses with sleeves. Not that that’s not a fun topic, but given the strangeness of the coronavirus situation right now, talking about fashion feels odd, at best.

Raise your hand if you avoid wearing shorts at all costs. ME! Up until a year or two ago, you’d never catch me in shorts. Seriously never. I have always been super critical of my legs, especially my chubby knees and thighs. So, I always hid my legs. You’d catch me in lots of sun dresses and a-line dresses that hit at the knee or mid-calf, but never in shorts.

Are you heading anywhere for spring break? I’m heading to Huntington Beach next weekend, so I’m already planning my wardrobe in my head. Long flowy dresses, like this striped maxi dress, are definitely on the list. I have some archive photos from our trip to Turks and Caicos, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite striped maxi dresses with you.

Have you heard of swiss dot dresses? Until I started researching this post to accompany my new favorite black dress, I hadn’t heard the term either. But to my surprise, I found so many lovely dresses that all used the term swiss dot dresses. It’s clearly a fashion term that is consistently used for clothing that have monochromatic dots on them.

If you had told me I’d be rocking combat boots in 2020 I would have laughed at you. I haven’t worn Doc Martens since high school. In high school, they were the shoes. I literally owned 5 pairs, at least. And I loved them so much. I had the shoe kind, the boot kind, and even the sandal kind. They were my look.
