Blouse: ModCloth | Dress c/o Tailor and Stylist (use code “sandyalamode10″ for 10% off your purchase) | Shoes: Seychelles | Purse c/o People Style Hunters | Earrings: JEWELIQ

It’s no secret that I LOVE polka dots paired with florals.  And the fact that Spring is getting closer, means that this will be one of my go to pattern mixing combos.  My love for chambray is still going strong as this dress is such a versatile piece in my closer, worn with a blouse underneath or worn alone, it will get a lot of wear throughout the upcoming months.  And the revitalization of all things yellow / mustard is about to happen, get ready.

I’m pretty darn excited for the 50/60s weather we will be having in the next few days… it’s just giving me a taste of what California weather will be next week.  I’m already dreaming of doing morning runs on the beach, holding all of my dream designer bags, trying on all my dream designer shoes, meeting some fellow LA bloggers, and hanging out with my parents and brother’s family!  I’m pretty blessed that I haven’t had to travel for work for almost 1.5 years now but this time was bound to come, I’ll miss my little Austin bunny so much though!

P.S. Winner of the Mimi Boutique giveaway is Diana of @goldiez!  Congrats!  Please send me an email at sandyalamode(at)gmail(dot)com to claim your prize!

    Love the lime green earrings with the gold bag. And what a cute shirt dress! Cali is a great place to go for business, seems like! Jealous! I always go to boring places where I don’t know anyone and there’s no shopping to be had ;) .
