Beach Versus Boston


One week ago, I was in Costa Rica, wearing this purple sundress at our beach villa. You can see how I styled it - barefoot, no makeup, hair in a messy bun and sunglasses as my only accessory. I wore the purple dress again yesterday, back at home in the Hub...


October  - even a warm October - dictates boots, and a chambray shirt that has become a mainstay in my closet. And! A fabulous necklace care of Style Rush Fashions - I received this a few months ago and have been anxiously awaiting finding a perfect outfit with which to pair it. Which look do you prefer - beach or Boston?





Dress: Shop Calico
Button Down Shirt: Forever 21
Boots: Walter Steiger
Sunglasses: Both pairs, Urban Outfitters
Watch & Handbag: Michael Kors

  5. BOSTON! I'm in such a fall state of mind lately. Probably because the weather refuses to reflect the season!

  6. I like both outfits! It is just amazing how just with some simple elements you can change totally beachy outfit into something more suitable for Fall. Love it!

  11. I'm voting the Boston outfit just because thinking of Costa Rica is making me sad! I love the combo with the boots though.

    Oh, and the bangs are looking good. ;-)

    I love how you transitioned your dress. I always feel like I'm drawn to tropical things when I'm on vacation, then I'm left with things I'll never wear again, but this looks so cute! I love it with the boots.

  16. More is more and more is GOOD. So I vote Boston (and I cast a separate vote for your awesome necklace).

    My vote also has nothing to do with seething jealousy of your vacation. How dare you even think that?!

  17. I have to say - I like the beach look better. BUT that's because the day I wore it was spent hanging out at a secluded beach villa with Mr. BF. I mean, can you beat that?

  18. Both looks are great, but I prefer the Costa Rica look, mainly because you have a mimosa and a hammock in one of the pictures - can't beat that!
