What to Wear in Costa Mesa, CA

Today I am staring a series called " What to Wear In ...." Many times when we travel we wonder what to wear in certain destinations. Style guides for cities, towns , beaches are all over online. Sometimes sifting through all the information can get overwhelming. I plan to do these posts on Wednesdays or Thursdays, a few times a month. At some point, perhaps we can do one every week . I hope you find these style guides helpful. The first "What to Wear in...." will feature the City of the Arts: Costa Mesa, CA. Last month I and my daughter visited for a girls trip , it's a "must see' destination! * This post contains affiliate links.
