We’ve had amazing weather lately in San Jose. I feel a little guilty enjoying it so much, because first of all, a lot of my blogging buddies and readers are still buried in snow, and second of all, California desperately needs rain. But since I have no control over either situation, I’m just gonna enjoy the sunny 80 degree days!
And one way I’m enjoying the weather is by wearing bright pretty patterns for spring!
Outfit Details & Shopping Ideas
Patterned top – Vintage Havana (thrifted) (cute option) (cute option) (cute option)
Jeans – Lucky Brand Charlie Flare
Sandals – DSW (option)

We are spoiled in California, that's for sure. I wish it would only rain at night and go back to warm, sunny days for the day time. I don't mind the rain while I sleep 🙂
I'd totally sign up for that program! 😉 OXOX
LOL! I left my comment for this post in one of your earlier posts, Dawn. Oh well, something tells me you understand it's been one, long week! 🙂 Thanks for hosting this link up. xx T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

It's also so perfect down here in L.A. – and I am loving your super fun top!
Best!

Now this is a top I could totally fall in love with. You look super classy and sassy.
I think it's funny that you "enjoy" this 80-degree weather and here I am, in SoCal, trying desperately to cling to winter by wearing blazers and velvet. Eheh. ;p
Haha … I'm enjoying it now because it's new, but in September I'll be bitching about the same weather for sure. OXOX
Thank you, as always, for the link up! 🙂
I love your outfit – very boho and 70s inspired! 🙂 That top is beautiful with the flared jeans 🙂

You look beautiful first of all. I love the top, bag and hat. Such a Springy outfit. All the ladies you featured look beautiful also, I bet they are very honored.
Happy Friday Dawn!
Aww thanks so much sweet Ada! OXOX
I feel a little envious as we haven't got the temperatures to completely drop the winter wear yet, but we are getting there 🙂 That top is lovely, I am a huge fan of large sleeves and green-blue shades.
Sorry that I couldn't stop by last week, my son was home with high fever and I didn't get to do half of what I wanted. And after that passed, I took a semi break to get the house spring ready 😉
Thanks a lot for the feature and for hosting 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
Alex – Funky Jungle
So sorry to hear about your son. I totally understand. Some weeks I just can't keep up with everything. Thanks for being a part of Fun Fashion Friday! OXOX
