Summer Witch

Southern California Belle Target Wild Fable Black Floral Sun Dress
 
The temperature here has been nothing short of miserable and I've transitioned my wardrobe to light and comfy (but still cute) outfits.  I've been trying to find pieces that reflect my personal style while still being functional and this dress definitely fits the bill!  I like to wear it while lounging at home but it really dresses up with a pair of cute sandals and a summer (witch) hat.  Plus, at $25 you really can't go wrong!

Dress- Target

This adorable floral dress is made from a light rayon fabric and features a slight puff sleeve, keyhole tie detail at the neckline, stretchy ruched waist, and a tiered above the knee length skirt.  You can slip this dress right on and feel like you have a complete outfit!  I traditionally wear a size small in most clothing and I opted for a medium since this is dress is in junior's sizing.  This dress is available in sizes XS-2X and is available in two other colors, in case you don't love black as much as I do.

The family and I are heading over to Disneyland on Saturday for the first time in over a year!  This is probably the longest we've been away and while I'm excited, I'm also just worried about the way things are now.  I've heard lots of horror stories about crazy lines and no space to sit down but I'm trying to put those stories aside and just enjoy my time there.  We're also going to check out the new Avengers Campus at California Adventure and I literally cannot wait!  Here's to hoping we have a good time and it's not too terribly hot!

Rainbows and Chill

Sarsparilly x Care Bears Rainbows and Chill Dress
 
Can't help but feel extra cheerful when I'm wearing a dress with the Love-a-Lot Care Bear on it!  If you've read my last post, I told you I'd be back with another amazing piece from the Sarsparilly x Care Bears collection.  The Rainbows and Chill dress is the perfect retro inspired piece with modern features.  And unlike most true vintage, this dress is also available in inclusive sizing.  Take a trip down memory lane and get nostalgic with me!

The Rainbows and Chill dress is made from a soft but sturdy cotton sateen.  It has a bit of stretch but still conforms to the body nicely.  This lovely piece features thin yet adjustable spaghetti straps, a fitted bodice, a massive gathered swing skirt with deep side pockets, a back zippered closure, and a matching rigid grommet belt.  It has an all-over print of shooting stars and the most cheerful border print of Love-a-Lot bear on a rainbow.

As for fit, I would highly recommend sizing down.  As I've mentioned in previous posts, Sarsparilly does run a full size smaller than your usual size.  Since I am usually a small, I always take a size XS in Sarsparilly dresses.  I find the fit to be quite comfortable!  It's definitely one of those dresses you can throw on and go about your day or really dress up for a fun vintage inspired look.

You can check out the entire Sarsparilly x Care Bears collection HERE.  All the pieces in this collection run from sizes XXS-4X.  Please note that prices are in Australian dollars, so make sure to use their currency converter!  While these pieces are definitely an investment, they're worth every penny.  The quality is top notch, the sizing is inclusive, and you're supporting a wonderful woman-owned business!
