Last week, temperatures finally dropped below 100 degrees and we were confronted with a desert storm! We rarely get cloudy days out here, so naturally, David and I were pretty excited about it. Don’t get me wrong – I am totally a sunshine kinda’ gal, but a change of scenery is refreshing every once in a while. Plus, clouds can really make photos look more dramatic and interesting! We decided to drive out to Salton Sea to watch the sunset and it was a very beautiful night. There was even some thunder & lightning.
My dress is from Verychi, a European clothing line. I’m generally not a huge fan of midi dresses because they’re not always the most flattering, but this one definitely grew on me. I got this number in an XS and with the tie-around belt, it fits perfectly. Made with 100% lyocell fabric and the cutest little buttons, it’s such a great transitional summer-to-fall piece. When it gets cooler, I’ll be accessorizing this dress more with hats, outerwear pieces, and boots. Until then, I’m holding onto summer for as long as I can… especially now that it’s very bearable and comfortable out. Fall in the desert is oh-so pleasant – I love it!
Have you been feeling the change of seasons where you’re at these days?

First of all, that storm seems like a beautiful story. Look at that pink sky. It’s so beautiful! Love your dress too, it’s such a beautiful summery yellow. So lucky to still have summer while every where else is preparing to winter.

Thanks Vanessa! Appreciate it xx
We are still kind of waiting for the season s to change over here in Houston, but getting some stormy weather in the interim I guess!! This yellow is mmmm-good on you! Love it– I think you pull the midi length off very well :-))
Wow, that sounds just like what we’re experiencing in Palm Springs! Hope you’re enjoying the change in weather 🙂 Thank you for your sweet comment babe! xoxo
First of all, such beautiful photos! And secondly, I wish it was actual fall in New York! Today is was 80 with 93% humidity. And we’re October 10th. HI global warming lolol
Wow, 80 degrees sounds like pure bliss to me… but not 93% humidity. Holy moly! That sounds worse than the humidity in Asia! I hope that the weather will get better over there soon for ya 🙂
That’s a really lovely dress…comfy yet elegant. You look good in it. By the way, like the photography & the background colours complement the ochre yellow of your dress well.

Thanks Stephanie! This dress would be breathtakingly beautiful on you, I know it 🙂
Are the clouds real? It’s gorgeous and I almost thought it looked like a drawing! Your photos are amazing and you look good in that outfit!
Haha it was a really stormy day so yes, the clouds are real but my boyfriend brought out the colors of the shot a bit on Photoshop lol thank you!!

Hahaha thanks Miki! YES it finally went down under 100 degrees and I am stoooked about it lol the weather is so nice now! 🙂 Wish you were here to enjoy it with me! xx
Oh my goodness, these photos are gorgeous! It’s amazing how you captured these fluffy pink clouds in their majesty. It’s definitely much chilier in Tokyo these days!
Thank you girl! It was a beautiful night. It’s getting chillier over here during the mornings and nights but still in the 80’s and 90’s during the day. Not too much of a seasonal change but still a difference from the 100’s so I’m grateful haha!
I love your midi dress. It looks flattering and beautiful on you. Love the photographs 🙂
Thank you so much!
