I picked up this colorful 1970s dress during my L.A. trip in May at the Popkiller store in Little Tokyo. There's something about the colors, the cut and the racy back that screams L.A. to me-- I actually wore it as a beach cover up while I was there. It was muggy and hot here in Chicago again so this dress helped keep me cool.

It's HUGE and can definitely carry all of your picnic or beach needs. I found it at a Lincoln Park thrift store that typically overprices their merchandise but they had a rare sale on their handbags.Don't forget to enter my giveaway for the Shabby Apple dress!!
