Saturday Date With My Eden Dress! #SWAKDesigns #PlusSize

The dress & I begin the day with an horchata with a shot of espresso at one of my faaaaaaavorite spots on Valencia, Dandelion Chocolate.

When I commit to wearing a dress for my Saturday that means I. Love. That. Dress.

Saturdays are sacred days: brunch, shopping, friend dates, gossip catchup and committed moments of repose. I spent last Saturday in the new Eden dress that Sealed with a Kiss sent me. It was perfect for a sunny day in the Mission AND it got abundant compliments (including one on my general "swagger"). I decided to go 90s end-of-summer staycation wear with this look and add the oversized bright green beads. 

My friend Kyohei was in town from Sacramento and he said he wanted to try to a new spot on Valencia for brunch. I love new brunch spots! I did a little research and found a place called LoLo: beautifully appointed and colorful, new takes on Mexican fare, 4.4 stars on the googles. Yes! Done! But before brunch I had to make an obvious stop at all-time favorite spot, Dandelion Chocolate, for an horchata + espresso.

THEN we brunched at LoLo! Mexican eggs benedict with Oaxacan cheese and carnitas on the side. Kyohei had chilaquiles.

Brunch was tres delish (as were the waiters girl!). I found a pair of bright pink, circa 90s Benetton suspenders at a street sale for $3 right outside LoLo and this was all before 2:30!

There are alleys all along Valencia that have murals. Must-see when you visit! I felt this one was appropriate.

And then I found my soul pin.

Any legit brunching experience on Valencia must be followed by a trip to Mission Thrift because they have the most absurd and queeny stuff! I got THIS debutante pin as well as a pink pleated button down top with gold buttons. I know that sounds horrific but trust me girl it works!

The dress and I go shopping for vintage treasure!

The day ends with a thoughtful vogue selfie.

We ended the day at the Marriott. Just like old times. Kyohei and I were in grad school together and sometimes we would escape the sociopaths we went to school with at this very Marriott, lying on the lounge sofas, talking shit and eating
mousse cakes.
