Hi my lovely ladies! I’m finally back with my latest outfit adventure! Today’s post is a late one because I actually wore this outfit for this past weekend getaway. I was spending my long weekend in Palm Springs to celebrate one of my best friends birthdays. Apparently, November babies are quite popular because I’ve seen celebrations on Instagram galore haha So Happy belated & early Birthday to all you November babies! Here’s to wishing you many blessings, love and success in all your endeavors! Anyway, hope you enjoy this casual post that I put together to travel to the 2nd land of the Palms, the first being L.A. (to me anyway)!

I don’t get out often when it comes to traveling to new cities. I’ve actually never left the state of California except other than the time when I was 7 years-old and my parents took my siblings & I on a road trip to Las Vegas. I know! I know! I’m missing out but believe me, there’s good reasoning and I can’t wait to one day start my traveling diary to places I never even imagine. Only life will tell, for now, Palm Springs was ideal and this outfit choice could not have been more appropriate. Comfy and casual without jeopardizing my style. Can I also mention that it was super effortless!
By the time we would arrive to Palm Springs, we were looking at a forecast of mid 80s and 90s. For the first day, considering that we would do some grocery shopping for the entire weekend, I knew I was going to be in major need of sneakers for the walking we would endure. Also, keeping in mind that it would be mildly warm, I knew I wanted to wear a dress. My choices pretty much just stumbled upon each other. A boxy dress was perfect for the loose comfort since I wanted to move around without feeling suffocated. And of course, l had to throw in my usual “tie-around” the waist gingham flannel for a statement. Which worked out because it compliment my breds nicely.
This is my first time mixing prints and what made it even better was the fact that I just kind of grabbed as I was getting dressed. I felt like the dress alone with sneakers was really boring and when I turned around to take a look at my closet, saw the gingham hanging and luckily, it worked. I loved the contrast of stripes and gingham together. The sneakers brought out the sporty-street vibe. What I love even more about this look is that if you’re not a sneaker kind of gal, you can totally kick them off and wear booties. It works for an everyday outfit and its the perfect touch of femininity. Like always, hope you enjoyed the read. Thank you for stopping by and wherever you may be today, may you have a very blessed day! Happy Tuesday :)
