i packed clothes for 80 degree + weather (and nothing else) for our trip to palm springs. so obviously, it rained! which meant that we had to make a little shopping trip to the jcrew store for something warm for me to wear, and lucky for me it was their end of summer sale! i found some great deals and a few warm things to throw on in the desert. of course, as soon as i bought said warm clothes it immediately started getting hot again. but this outfit was the perfect combo for a cool evening in the desert. shorts, sweater, vest, flops, bracelet: jcrew, watch: marc by marc jacobs via bloomindales, ring: kate spade, photos by lou mora
