    After spending the morning at the beach last Friday, my sisters and I stopped by Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano. I visited this place several times last year (you might remember it from this post), since it was the most convenient halfway point for my best friend Laura and I to meet while she still lived in San Diego. The street is very picturesque and has many cute shops, and there even is a butterfly sanctuary where you can observe the monarchs that are abundant in this area. There is also a cool and cozy coffee shop called Hidden House Coffee at the end of the street. Although I’m a creature of habit and lattes tend to be my drink of choice at coffee shops, I decided to be a bit adventurous this time around, and ordered one of Hidden House’s specialty drinks called “The Crush”; I was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of this concoction, which consisted of orange crush soda, chocolate espresso and milk. I guess I really should make an effort to try new things every once in a while.
    This black jersey maxi dress is also something that you’ve seen before on this blog. I wore it over my bathing suit because it’s so easy to take off and put back on again. Another great thing about a black maxi dress is that you can easily add different accessories to achieve different styles. This time around, I styled it with a camel fedora hat and crocheted bag for a more casual look that was perfect for a day of exploring.

    The heat has arrived to SoCal, which means that I’ve officially stored away my winter wardrobe. I’m trying to keep a capsule wardrobe for each season and storing away things I don’t use during certain times of year. Doing this reduces clutter in my closet and keeps my wardrobe feeling new and fresh. Since I haven’t worn certain pieces for a couple of months, the process of bringing out my spring/summer clothes made me feel like I came back from a huge shopping spree.
    I wore this outfit about two weeks ago on a day that was particularly warm. This army green top is actually a dress, which you’ve also seen me wear here. I love pieces that are versatile and can be worn in a variety of ways because when you’re on a budget, like me, they can help maximize your wardrobe.

    What are your weekend plans? I’m still trying to fight off this feeling of fatigue, so mine will probably be filled with tons of sleep. I’m determined to not be at home all the time, however, so maybe I’ll do something that I haven’t done in a while, like going out dancing in Echo Park. I used to go out to shows and dancing all the time, but I’ve become so lazy that I never do things that involve me going out past 10 pm anymore. Maybe this will be the weekend that I finally break out of my routine.

    xoxo,
