My mom and I went to San Francisco this weekend for a girls weekend of shopping, sightseeing, eating… and more shopping.

We actually lived in the Bay area for a few years when I was little, but I was so young that I don’t really remember it. And the last (and only other) time I went to San Francisco was for a few days in 1994. It was August, but I ended up wearing the same sweatshirt and jeans the whole time because I was so cold. It was also pretty cold this time, but at least I expected it.

We had a reservation for tea on Saturday — our main shopping day — so I wanted to wear a dress, but needed to wear some warm and comfortable shoes. Solution? Doc Martens.

I was channeling the mid-90s, obviously, but I tried to update the look a bit with a burgundy boyfriend cardigan instead of a flannel shirt, and jewelry from Madewell, Stella and Dot and Kate Spade instead of Delia*s. I’m still listening to Lithium, though.
