Hopeful Californian

Yellow Dress, Roble, Forever21

I was walking around and I overheard this conversation, probably in reference to my outfit...

1: You know what the problem is with all you California people?
2: Haha what?
1: It's that you guys are all so "hopeful". You're always hoping that it's going to be a beautiful, sunny day. And then it turns out to be cold, and you guys end up being inappropriately dressed.

I mean...being optimistic is SUCH a problem!!! What?!? Hahah

Yellow Dress, Roble, Forever21

I thought the black shoes would tone down the bright yellow shoes, but I guess I still looked to "hopeful"!
Now that it's no longer summer, I'm pretty much the only person wearing any color or a skirt at all for that matter where I live!

Yellow Dress, Roble, Forever21

I'm wearing a Forever 21 dress and Kenneth Cole black patent pumps.

    This is the first time I've seen your shoulders bare and it looks lovely! This cut is so flattering on you!

    Don't mind their conversation. Hopeful is always a nice thing and will never go out style regardless of the season! =)

    There is nothing wrong with not quite being dressed for the weather. Fashion is worth suffering for! I love the all-yellow outfit: on me, I can't think of anything worse than block bright colours, but it looks so stunning on you!
