The Californian Dream

For all of you lovely people realizing that it's only Wednesday and that we have two more days until it's the weekend; I feel you. So in order to ignore the feeling of "ugh it's only Wednesday" I decided to talk about a new find of mine, if patterns make you happier, and of course (hence the title) the Californian Dream. But to start off, my outfit today consists of a Brandy Melville sweater (the most comfortable sweaters on planet Earth), a H&M velvet skirt, my beloved docs, and a watch. Unfortunately for me, it was quite windy today so I was so happy I wore shorts underneath. I actually really liked my outfit today, even though I forgot to shave my legs, because it made me realize that I actually liked my legs (sometimes). Before this year I would always, ALWAYS, wear jeans no matter what. But now its skirts, dresses, and shorts galore. Ok so that new find that you are all wondering about is in fact a store. Crossroad Trading Co. has the cutest clothes in the world and they are all super cheap. It's like a Buffalo Exchange except better with more variety. I almost bought these shorts that were leather in the front and jean in the back but I decided on a lovely spring dress that, if you tune in tomorrow, will be on the blog. So I recommend that everyone checks it out because you can also bring in clothes to trade! For each thing you bring it, you'll get either 35% cash back or 50% store credit! But FYI they are only taking spring items right now, so don't bring in your winter clothes! So now to the next topic...do patterns make you happier? I'd have to say they do. Trust me, I'm all for jeans and sweaters but wearing a pattern automatically makes you look happier. I mean would someone who was depressed wear a bright pattern? I highly doubt it...most likely they would wear boring colors and types of clothes ( I'm only speaking from experience). Now to speak from experience again, I'm going to talk about the Californian Dream. To begin it all started around the time of the Gold Rush. A time when everyone wanted to strike out and find the gold that would solve their problems and get them rich. Amazingly enough, it's the exact same idea today. People come to Los Angeles or California as a whole to follow their dream, get rich or maybe even just to get tan. Either way, we Californians are really something special. We live in the state that some dream about visiting. In some ways we are living other people's fantasies. Maybe that's why we are all so determined, it's just part of who we are...those Californians...
So now that I've discussed those three random topics, thank you to all of you who liked the Facebook page!! Keep liking for those who didn't and feel free to follow me on instagram @frompalomawithlove
