Please don’t hate me when you see my short sleeves and cotton cardigan in these pictures.

I can’t help it that the weather in southern California is generally delightful. It has actually been kind of chilly and rainy, but it clearly wasn’t when I wore this outfit. This particular day, I had a work meeting, then a flight out of town, so checks + dots + animal-print booties seemed like a combination that was fun enough to go out to dinner in after the flight, but also not TOO crazy for the meeting.

Let’s not even talk about what my hair is doing in these photos, though. I think it has topknot fatigue.
