Santa Monica, CA

While I don’t necessarily love the idea that Labor Day signifies the end of summer (I go into great detail about it in this post from last year), I cannot deny that the gorgeous weather and long-weekend festivities that usually coincide with this holiday are pretty great. Instead of heading out of town like the rest of the city, I am soaking up the HOT California sun and enjoying what this place has to offer. Catching up with friends, stopping by the beach, browsing around the local farmers markets and reading poolside are pretty high up on my to-do list this weekend. And hey! I may even try to catch up on some work.

I am such a big fan of this trapeze denim dress from TOPSHOP. It is such a fun style and serves as a wonderful canvas for accessorizing. I chose to dress it down today for some ocean side weekend activities with my Sperry seacoast canvas sneakers, beachy blue beaded necklaces from Old Navy, and a sun-shielding fedora from ASOS. This dress has infinite options for accessorizing. Dress it up with some booties and slicked back hair, or keep it Boho with a headband and some Birkenstocks. Whatever you choose, make it your own! That is what I love about dresses like this one, they give you the option to accessorize in so many different ways, which truly individualize the outfit!
