Right out of college, I was stationed in San Diego. As a Chicago girl who then spent four years in Massachusetts, I had absolutely NO CLUE how to dress for Southern California. Fast forward to seven years later, and I am back in San Diego for two weeks of Navy fun.
The interesting thing about the weather here is that while it is warm during the day (70), it can seem chilly at night (60-ish)...so because of this, I recommend dressing for evening...enter the J. Crew Maritime Dress. Many other bloggers complained about the heavy-weight cotton, but for this climate, it is perfect-cool enough for the day, heavy enough for the cool evenings.
I ordered the dress in an extra small, and it comes about 2.5-3 inches above my knee (I am 5'2''). I paired it with:
Shoes - My favorite Rainbows (perfectly broken-in after five years of wear), which are the quintessential California footwear.
Sunglasses - Ray-Ban aviators, my favorite sunglasses. Plus, since I am staying next to the jet flight line on the Naval Air Station, I need to channel Maverick. Top Gun, what up.
Earrings/Belt - To keep with the cool California lifestyle, I chose the effortless gold hoops. The belt defines my waist, but blends in and keeps the look simple.
Bag - Are you sick of seeing my favorite bag yet?
As for my postings, I will only be blogging one, maybe twice, a day for the next two weeks while i am in San Diego. Don't miss me too much!
