As travel plans are being made (!!!), I keep realizing how close summer is! This is the outfit on my mind: a simple graphic print dress with light neutral sandals and a bright bag, with just a couple of gold rings for an accent.
Diane von Furstenberg dress, Topshop sandals, Lauren Ralph Lauren bag, Alex Monroe leaf ring, Indulgems mixed-metal rings

Doesn't this just make you want to stroll through the farmer's market and buy a bouquet of peonies? They are my all-time favorite flowers.

While I was waiting patiently for the sun to arrive on the west coast (it's HERE today!) I cozied up in my favorite flannel and dark accents.
Random flannel, BDG jeans (on their last leg), Steve Madden ankle boots

I love hearing stories of what goes on when bloggers are taking outfit photos, so here's what happened this day: msister and I ran to the fields to snap some shots until a family began setting up to barbecue. And they brought a blanket for their dog so it could rest on the picnic table bench. Elyse and I cut it short and ran home in the drizzly rain. The end.

Hope your Wednesday is as sunny as mine!
