Swing Babydoll dress

Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? It was definitely a sports-filled one around here. Between the Astros first-round playoff games, my Longhorns winning in double overtime and watching Houston’s beloved JJ Watt go down, again, with an injury, I think I’m ready to veg out on trashy reality tv for the next few days. But I digress… today I’m sharing a fun little swing babydoll dress, perfect for transitional wardrobes. 

Dress (In green here and similar here) // Sandals (on sale!) // Purse // Sunglasses // Bracelet // Station bracelet

Back in August we headed to Santa Barbara, my happy place, and I snapped these photos with a local photographer. I’m excited to finally get on track and share some of my outfits, as well as the highly-asked for Santa Barbara travel guide in the next week or so! Here’s one of my favorite outfits from SB last year.

In case you couldn’t tell, a few of these photos feature one of my favorite walls – the Lucky Penny wall, featuring tons and tons of pennies. Not only does this spot make for fun #Instagramart, but the Lucky Penny itself also has some seriously awesome pizzas for lunch.

Even though I wore this swing babydoll dress back in August, the unseasonably warm fall temps here in Houston makes this easy to throw on dress a major wardrobe staple. There’s no way I’m wearing sweaters and vests just yet, it’s way too hot and humid here in #htx. But easy dresses that can double for both summer and fall wear, are the perfect wardrobe essential right now.

    That penny wall is too cool! I’ve never heard of it before – will have to check it out 🙂 It was a sports-filled weekend for me as well. I literally watched college football ALL day and don’t feel bad about it lol. That dress is super cute, by the way! I wish I could pull off dresses better… I always feel awkward in them.
