Wednesday's Wardrobe: Vacation Wear

If I'm keeping it real with you, most of last week I wore  a version of this:

Cute, right?  If filthy, sweaty and tired are now synonymous with cute.  Anyway, when we weren't hiking the dusty trail or climbing endless rock steps I did my best to clean up nice for my husband and our various dinner destinations.

In Tahoe, the atmosphere was definitely relaxed and the night air very chilly so I stuck to jeans for dinner.

For our 5 hour drive to Yosemite on Monday I wanted to be comfortable, and for me summertime comfort = jersey dresses.  I threw a tank, hat and this dress on for our drive.  All was going well until we drove through Tioga Pass with its snow capped mountains, and then I looked (and felt) slightly ridiculous.  After rocking said outfit at many scenic vistas that required short, dusty walks I ditched the dress for running shorts on the Frederick Law Olmstead trail.

Tank - H&M, Dress - Aqua for Bloomingdale's, Fedora - Forever 21, Earrings - Filene's Basement, Bracelet - Provincetown, MA.

San Francisco was the only place I consistently wore real "outfits", unfortunately the weather threw a real monkey wrench in my planned attire.  Weather.com's predicted 78 degrees and sunny predictions somehow translated into mid-50's, fog/mist/low clouds for all but 3-4 hours a day.  Morale of the story: I was grossly under dressed and lived in my husband's grey fleece pullover.  When it warmed up a little, this is what I wore to ride cable cars, climb Coit Tower, stroll through Chinatown and eat chowder from sourdough bread bowls:

Vest - Old Navy, Grey T-shirt - Ann Taylor Loft, Jeans - J Brand, Flip flops - Kino, Necklace - Charming Charlies, Bracelets - Filene's Basement, Earrings - Chatham, MA, Purse - Gift from my Mother-in-Law.

And for walking through the Castro admiring houses and sunflowers, eating Ike's Sandwiches, strolling through Haight Ashbury and shopping my way back to the hotel:
