sweet talk





COPE dress, assorted arm candy from H&M, an auntie & my mother, Steve Madden wedges

Unlike everyone else, I'm actually dreading the advent of fall and winter, if only because San Francisco is perpetually on the chillier side all year round and staying in the city during June to August, one doesn't really feel like it's truly summer (at least for me). However, there's about a three week time period where it's above 60 F and pleasantly mild, which is when I happily pounce at the opportunity to wear dresses, skirts, and shorts sans layers. This linen dress had been a recent favorite; I really love the clean, simple design, classic pattern, subtle cut-out... so much so that I was compelled to get a duplicate of it in a pale cream shade! Pairing this with random gold arm jewelry and a pair of black suede wedges for optimal mobility, I was ready to take on this rare warm day.

P.S. Do pardon my rather unsightly legs... I received about twenty four mosquito bites from Puerto Vallarta and of course, most of them were on my gams. And of course, I had scratched them into the attractiveness you see here!

  31. I just want to steal this dress right off your back! It's amazing!!! The pattern is cute, the neckline is flattering, and I love that little peekaboo triangle in the front. You look retro but modern at the same time, and it's to die for.
