Monterey once held a large Army base called Fort Ord. It is the reason my family ended up there; my grandfather was in the Army and stationed at Ft. Ord. It closed in 1992 and now holds a University and some housing developments. Back when I was a kid there was this giant building right on these cliffs. It was the first ever Army Enlisted club! Sadly, the coastline eroded and became unsafe but my Grandmother and Aunt would tell me stories about dancing all night long there. The building was torn down long ago and now the site is a state beach. A nice hiking trail, bike paths, and views can be found here. I hope you all are enjoying a few of my favorite childhood spots.
I am obsessed with this neon cardi from Cabi. When I first saw it on the runway I was pretty sure I would hate it. After trying it on I was hooked!
Have you ever found a piece that you knew you would hate only to totally fall in love with it?

I love your cardigan! Sometimes NEON colors are good especially in the night.
Love the outfit overall but the shoes are what have me drooling! 🙂
I love the NEON yellow! I like to brighten up my wardrobe with bright colored sweaters.
I am drooling over that bag!!! And I surprisingly love the neon yellow/navy shoe combo!
Love your style the handbag is amazing and it totally goes with your outfit
Love the bag. It’s neutral, so it can go with a lot of outfits. Best of all, though, it is big enough to carry a lot of stuff – like books!
What a great story. I had no idea. It looks beautiful there and I love your outfit and purse. I would love to see photos of how it looks back then when the base was still there.
Such a pretty cardigan and your bag is so lovely! I love its nude color.
Loving this website! What a find!
Love this whole look and that bag is everything!
It is really cool that a military base ends up being an university! The world need to learn about this things. Love your whole outfit, specially the necklace!
Love chunky cardigans – and that color is awesome. Love your boots too – I like using neutrals but splashing colors in with my shoes and layering tops!
Love the pop of color. You totally rock it!
Great outfit you put together! The purse is amazing
Love the bag” I’m still not 100% sold on neons but it looks great on you!

Thanks! I was also super hesitant with the neon and then realized how great it looks on a neutral like navy! Now I am hooked.
Love the neon and the boots!
