california winter

January 25, 2013

California doesn't really have a real winter. Most days it's in the mid to high 70s, with the occasional week of rain and the otherwise few days of anything but sweater weather. It's really nothing to complain about, yet I happen to love rainy and gray days. Last weekend, and even earlier this week it hit 80! I guess it's a good thing I never put away my spring/summer clothes. (And even better that I didn't put away the sweaters and light jackets because rain is in the forecast for this weekend! Oh LA, so temperamental.)
top Walter via Crossroads Trading {similar}, skirt J.Crew {similar}, jacket Ruche, shoes c/o ShoeMint, rose gold bracelet Karen London {coming soon!}, yellow leaf bracelet c/o JewelMint, sunglasses Karen Walker

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
I'm starting to get ready for my New York trip. Can't believe it's just a few weeks away!

  11. I've been looking at that jacket in the most recent Ruche lookbook, and I really love the way you've styled it here! I know what you mean about temperamental weather. Although in Tennessee we are experiencing one of the colder winters in my memory, we always get a few days or weeks of sunny and spring like weather.

  18. Lovely outfit-what a taste of Spring! And I love how you mixed prints, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm just not a pattern mixer, I'll leave it to people who can do it better than I....
    I live in Montana, the weather is constantly up and down! Yesterday was GORGEOUS (in my opinion-although 40 deg to you would probably be cold!) I had my car window down, short sleeves and the tunes cranked up! LOL! We've decided Montana people enjoy the nice weather waaayyy more than anyone else! ;)

  37. Love the floral jacket. I envy you and that you live in warm weather during the winter. I wish I had that jacket. I have a top that was my moms that looks like that but the jacket is so much better.
