Look of the Day: A Day At the San Diego Zoo

Continuing my previous post of my adventures in San Diego, on this day we paid a visit to my bf's furry friends at the San Diego Zoo. After popping celebratory birthday champagne bottles for brunch at Broken Yolk in the Gaslamp District for his birthday, we were in for a serious wake up call when we arrived at the zoo. Clearly, we underestimated how HUGE the zoo actually is. It's like Disneyland for animals-- no joke.

Point blank, I definitely chose the wrong outfit. Why? Even though the weatherman said it would be significantly cooler than the day before, it wasn't. It was most likely hotter. And why did I choose to believe in the weather man? No idea because they're never right any other time. 

Nonetheless, I still enjoyed my time oohing and awwing at the majestic creatures in Gap denim, a teal, flowy layered top my mom gifted from Mexico and tan ballet flats with a neon orange capped toe. I wanted to mix up my outfits over the weekend instead of wearing dress after dress after dress. With all the walking, my flats started to ache and rub the back of my heel, my jeans didn't allow for much air flow to cool off. Towards the end of the day, I started to push up my layered top to cool off some sort of way! Good thing they served beer at the zoo or else I would have been bitchin' the whole day ;)

Look of the Day: Safari Print and Gladiator Sandals

A couple weekends ago, the bf and I headed down to San Diego for a quick getaway for our birthdays and visit my familia. Of course, we chose to visit during one of the hottest weekends ever, but thank God there are beautiful beaches in San Diego. 

During summer, all I want to wear are dresses because they're easy, breezy and simple enough to just toss on one piece and be done. Unfortunately, the heat can make me one Irritated Isabel so, dresses help me keep my cool.

On this day, I chose a black and white safari print with a wood beaded halter along with brown gladiator sandals. Both pieces I've had for years and have held up pretty well considering all the treks around town I've made in them. It was so hot this day and I was so grateful that the spotted dress was lightweight, stretchy and breathable. The sandals are so durable and made walking around the Gaslamp district so easy and comfy.
