Summer-Whites

With a month and two days left to welcome our Summer Solstice, Los Angeles has been giving us a little preview as to what to expect this Summer 2014. This past week, we were in the high, HIGH 90s. But this girl is NOT complaining one bit. Despite being born in Mexico and coming to the states at 3 years old, I have grown big love for this state! L.A. is HOME and I consider myself a Cali girl with Mexican roots. Which, before I get carried away, I am happy to have been raised here without never, EVER forgetting where I came from. Very proud to be Latina & Mexicana. So naturally, as a Cali girl, I’ve been ADORING this Cali breeze and heat!

This past Saturday, my boyfriend & I were on a family reunion. We were all gathering to celebrate one of the many nephews he has. It was his 8th birthday [Happy Birthday Aidan!] So you know what that meant..OUTFIT OF THE DAY! I love playing dress up and even more so when I actually have somewhere to go and socialize! Besides, who doesn’t love kid’s birthday parties? The candy, the games, the bonding, the treats, the cakes & pastries, the memories…let’s not forget the AMAZING FOOD… *drools* It was a good day! :)

When Saturday came around, the temperatures dropped significantly, however, since the birthday party was in Palmdale, CA the weather up there was still bound to be warm….And indeed, Saturay was a warm beautiful day and I felt like embracing this Spring warmth with this beautiful white dress. White was the perfect color to keep me looking chic and keeping my cool. I bought this dress a few days ago and all the lace detailing had me SOLD! The minute I tried it on, I felt like an angel…a goddess! Ugh!! I’m so obsessed you guys. So feminine. So sexy. So chic. So BEAUTIFUL. Best part, you can pull off day & night summer looks!

I’m not going to lie, although I’m more than positive that what I’m wearing is a SHORT dress, I was a little hesitant to buy it because I thought maybe it was a top on account of how short it felt. Thank goodness I own one of those seamless slip-shorts that go underneath dresses/skirts. My slip-shorts have a lace detailing which was perfect for this dress because it complimented the lace on the sides…And voilà! I added a denim jacket to give the look a more casual look and avoid being so bare. I wore my favorite, comfy wedges to add a different tone of color. Hope you enjoyed this post ladies! I’m off to bed because it is already Monday and I have work in a few hours! Wish you all a beautiful start to an AMAZING week! Remember: Your day will be what YOUR attitude decides to embrace & react to! Until our next outfit adventure…ta ta ladies! <3
