I went to a baseball game today (Oakland A’s vs. the Detroit Tigers)  in Oakland with my coworkers, and I wore jeans and a sporty t-shirt to the Coliseum. Instead of sharing that outfit, I am sharing this outfit for my DVF series that also consists of the team colors of green and gold. I see this as more of a weekend dress that I could go to a a picnic in the park or beach in. I had this dress initially listed on Poshmark, but putting it on made me realize I wanted to keep it. I might change my mind again in the future, but for now it is in my keep pile. Green definitely compliments my skin tone/eyes, so it would be really hard to let this dress go. On the bright side, the Coach bag is also listed for sale on Poshmark in case you are interested.
Today’s post was a little late, but hopefully the photos for today’s outfit make up for it. See you tomorrow for Day 29.
P.S. In case you are wondering, the Oakland A’s won! Whoop-Whooo!

I had today off from work and Armando finished school last week, so today was dedicated to just spending time together. We hopped in his Mini early this morning and made our way to the Paragon Livermore Outlets. I don’t share my shopping hauls on my blog, but I will admit to buying the Marc by Marc Jacobs watch today along with some Ghiradelli Chocolate.
After our shopping trip, we visited the Subpar Mini Golf Center in Alameda. Armando and I can get pretty competitive, and it showed as we were very attentive in keeping score. In the end he won 55-53, and I treated him (and myself) to some ice cream from Tucker’s Ice Cream Shop up the street from the mini-golf course. We walked along Park Street and he and I are both interested in coming back to try a couple of the restaurants on this street.
Today was really fun and I am amazed we were able to do all the things we did. We fit this outfit shoot by Alameda City Hall after our walk and we were both pretty tired afterwards. My cardigan is the featured DVF piece for today, and I went with a nautical look thanks to the white stripe detail.  It is a vintage piece and I like how it works with my trendier red Zara dress. I have this cardigan listed for sale on Poshmark, but it is also one of those pieces I might change my mind from selling and keep. 😉
Hope you enjoyed your Monday (whether you had a day off or not), and I will see you tomorrow.

Orange Angea Dress Diane von Furstenberg (Buy here) | Denim Jacket Heritage 1981 | Signature C Tote Coach | Belt unknown | Gold Earrings Forever 21 | Gravee Blush Patent Sandals Steve MaddenToday was nothing like the lazy Sunday I tend to look forward to. I was busy this morning taking care of this photo shoot, cleaned the apartment and then went for a bike ride. The front wheel of my bike blew out the day after Bike to Work Day and not even days after Armando had patched it up, I experienced another flat today. I managed to get pretty far from my apartment, but walking back with my bike wasn’t too bad. My goal was to get a workout in and that proved to be effective. 
Today’s DVF outfit post features a fun summer dress that I actually have listed for sale in my closet on Poshmark. Despite it being in my typical size range, I feel the straps are a little too long for me and they tend to fall down more often than I’d like. I added the belt to define my waist, but also to keep the dress up in the event the straps slipped passed my shoulders. Other than that, it is a beautiful color and pops against the jean jacket. I am also wearing a pair of flats I found earlier this week at Marshall’s that I have never tried before. I am not a big fan of sandals, but I feel I finally found a pair that works for me. The heatwaves we’ve experienced in the Bay Area was also the other reason I made an effort to really find a good pair of sandals. 
Hope you like my weekend look in this dress and check out my listing on Poshmark if you want to make it yours. (I’d recommend moving fast since I might change my mind seeing how great it looks!) See you tomorrow!

Green and Tan Arlene Jacket Diane von Furstenberg | Cream Top Alice + Olivia | Grey Skinny Jeans 7 For All Mankind | Flats Dolce Vita | Voyage Satchel JustFAB!I’ve been wearing a lot of dresses lately, so I thought it would be nice to mix in one of the only DVF jackets I own into this series. I kept the color palette neutral to let the green print stand out. I’ve worn my Dolce Vita flats a few times during this series, and I must say that I love them! I’ve been really into loafers lately and have accumulated a few in the past few months thanks  +Poshmark App . While I love my heels, I like having a flat shoe in case I need to run an errand.
Hope you had a great Saturday and I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 25!

Another resort look and this time I am by a body of water. We actually took these photos by Lake Merrit. Day 19’s dress is one that I managed to score at a Crossroads Trading Co. in San Francisco. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t always be sharing where I find something because then it might encourage others to go and get all the good stuff, but thrift store shopping is all about timing. This dress was hanging on the wall on display and I locked eyes on it once I entered the store. It was not the first time I had seen this dress and after some research, I remember the first time I spotted this dress was on Blair’s blog: Atlantic-Pacific. I love how she styled the bold, printed dress with neutral pieces and I can’t believe I stumbled across the same dress almost a year after her first post with it. Hopefully I see her style it again and see what else she pairs with it.
My favorite part of this look, aside from the dress and shoes, is actually the necklace. It is a House of Harlow piece that I am renting via Rocksbox, and I suited the pattern and colors of the dress perfectly. I’ve tried about 2 boxes from Rocksbox and so far I’ve enjoyed being able to try new pieces of jewelry that I normally would not pick out for myself. I love that this piece in particular fit perfectly with this dress so well, so kudos to my Rocksbox stylist for picking that out for me.
Hope you’ve had an easy Monday and check back in tomorrow for the halfway point in this series. See you tomorrow.

Beige Cardigan Express | Patterned Peggie Sleeveness Dress  Diane von Furstenberg (Buy it on Poshmark here) | Orange Bow Belt Kate Spade | Bracelet c/o LE TOTE | Signature Tote Coach | Capped Tan Loafers Dolce VitaFor Day 18 I am featuring another summer dress that is perfect for the weekend.This outfit makes me feel like I should be on a tropical vacation. With the sudden wave of warm weather in the Bay Area, I’ve envisioned myself heading out to a tropical island enjoying drinks with little umbrellas. It’d be great to be hanging out by a pool, but until then I’ll be dressing like I belong at a Resort.
I found this dress also listed for sale on Poshmark under username viscus09. I love the print and colors, and the best part is this dress has pockets! I styled it my orange belt and kept my other pieces neutral. I’ve worn this dress before dressed up and down and love how versatile it is. I would recommend snatching it up while you can.
Only 2 more days until we are at the halfway point of this series. I am so excited! See you tomorrow and enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |
