Ladylike Layers

Summer isn't the only time for floral dresses. Adding a sweater over top and some tights underneath can be just what you need for a fun fall/winter outfit. This is a drop-waist floral dress from Forever 21. I added a cream knit sweater over top, my army jacket, and a big black scarf. I paired it with my favorite fringe booties from Target and a black bag from H&M. 

Fall and winter layers can be a drag sometimes. This is the perfect way to keep warm without losing that feminine touch.

San Francisco

We took a trip to San Francisco last month, and I'm finally getting around to posting pictures! We had a lovely long weekend and great weather there. Though, San Fran isn't our favorite spot to visit, we did really enjoy ourselves. I didn't quite pack enough warm clothing, so I ended up wearing the same pants,  jacket, and of course, a hat all three days. Talk about an outfit repeater. It is what it is. Lesson learned. Here are a few shots from our San Fran Adventure. 
 My hat kept shading my face, hence the wannabe model pose.

 I couldn't even win on the easiest level! 
 Apparently, this is what kind of "lover" I am. Go figure.

We had a great time. AND we got to test out our new Canon, too! I'm sure we'll be back to San Fran; I fell like there are so many more hidden gems in that city.
