i spent this past weekend outdoors, brunching at dos caminos and digging my toes into the warm sand at long beach. in return, i got a nasty sunburn that stretches down the back of my legs, making me look as though i’ve contracted a deadly skin disease. 

while sunday was a bit more mild, saturday was a mid-august style scorcher, and my black maxi dress didn’t do me any favors, lightweight as it was. if only i’d been wearing the outfit above (and eating ice cream, of course).
