Yeah, that's right. This is a "one with nature" outfit post. I feel like I've been taking more lookbook photos lately. The hubs and I recently took a trip to Santa Cruz for the first time. We heard there was a park on the beach where butterflies liked to converge in the winter. We did manage to take a bunch of photos of both the butterflies and my new skirt and top.
I bought this Free People top back in November (because there's a Free People store minutes from my house, people. An actual brick and mortar store). The Mark + James Badgley Mischka skirt I bought online for a great deal. It was once going for $290 but I got it for $35! Total score.
Close up of the floral pattern on the Free People crop top and the ribbon belt and glitter embellishments on the skirt. I'm also wearing my favorite piece of Towne & Reese jewelry.
Look at that butterfly cluster!
In Santa Cruz we also strolled around the boardwalk, thought about going on the many rides (but didn't) and were fortunate enough to catch dozens of seals wading in the water and sleeping under the wharf.
