Wispy Sundress – Floral Bliss

This outfit was a spare of the moment throw on. I met my friend Leah today some girl time and threw this on. It’s always good to have some basics in the closet for last minute outings. The dress is made by O’Neill. I found it at a sports store in the woman’s summer section in Nob Hill. It was a store I was not expecting to find a cute summer dress. The button tie top is from Forever 21 a few months back, plus the owl necklace. I love the bold floral pattern and has all my favorite colors. The purse is a Jessica Simpson mini that I think I have had for ages. It’s a great grab and go purse. The wedges are from DSW and are made by Guess.

Pinky Accessories

I have a new found love for black, gold and pink. Such a pretty little color combination. It seems to also be a pretty versatile seasonal color combination. Or maybe because San Francisco doesn’t really ever change seasons it just feels like a good fit for the city. The elephant bracelet I saw on Rue La La but the price was sky high so I didn’t buy it a few months back. Then I saw it at Lohmanns this past week and it was actually affordable! Sometimes it really is just best to wait things out a bit. The earrings are from H&M spring collection and the owl necklace is from Forever 21 back from the 2011 fall collection. These colors are quite multi seasonal, which I find to be super important in a wardrobe. You’ll save time and less money by finding classic and easy to match pieces.

My 6 Month Missions

Despite my blog being about design and fashion, I also try to merge in my personal life sometimes. Lately I have had a lot of things I want to get on my mental “To Do” list. But haven’t done anything concrete about it. I figure if I write about it, post it online and make myself accountable, it will happen a lot of faster. Plus, it’s always great to have goals. So, here are mine!

Buy a sewing machine
Learn how to sew a dress
Run the SF half Marathon – 13.2 miles
Focus less on freelance and more on music
Release my fashion app in the App Store

I used to sew a lot in high school. I would modify my clothes often and miss how relaxing it was. I think its good to have a sewing machine in general, but want to know how to use it for more complicated patterns.

I’m running the SF half marathon in July, I am so excited. Finally a big race that will be a huge check in my list.

I love freelance, I have been fortunate to have great clients. Although I think that it’s time to focus less on working for others and get some of my own personal things accomplished. I’ll be my own client for once!

My fashion app has been in development for about 3 months now. Still a lot of UI and engineering to be done but it’s nice that it’s finally an actual usable app on a device. There is a lot more to go, but I just need to get it done.

What are your goals for the next 6 months? I think it’s great to set both short and long term goals. It keeps life interesting and makes me even more motivated.
