Yesterday, Linh from A Beautiful Rawr left a comment on my post saying "I think having to dress up in 100 degree weather must be illegal somewhere." Haha, I think she's onto something! This deep navy J.Crew dress that I purchased on sale right before Harper's first birthday has been a key piece in my summer wardrobe (and will ...

I’d Rather Be in Scrubs…
Dressing for this office isn't always fun. There, I said it. Sometimes, I look at the doctors and nurses in their scrubs and I think to myself "yes." Yes to all of that. Yes to wearing the same, comfy thing everyday and not asking myself when the last time I wore that dress was or having moments where I come to the realization that I've worn the ...
The Lightest Shirt
This blue shirt from Gap is so lightweight, it's about the only thing I could think to wear when I saw today's weather forecast. I know everyone hates when people talk about fall too early, but I'm craving days in the 70's. Dear sun, please calm it down. Unfortunately, this blouse is no longer available. It's kind of perfect because it has a ...
Hot Summer Days
A for effort? I've been doing outfit photos in my mirror for so long because it was quick and easy, but my goal is to get back to outdoor photos so they're better quality and shot in better light. We somehow got it together this morning and Kevin threw the DSLR around his neck and held Harper on his hip as he snapped a few shots of my outfit. ...
The Boldest Stripe
Can I just say how thrilled I am that I got this dress? And how it's even more awesome now that I've had it lengthened? It's a lovely, stretchy, thick fabric and the bold print is fantastic. Unfortunately, it's no longer available, but I have three other BR options posted below that I think are great alternatives. dress- banana republic- ...
Another White Dress
This white dress from Gap is another one I recently had altered to make the hem a little longer. The thing I love most about this dress is its textured stripe pattern. The fabric feels substantial/high quality. I did order this one in a tall size, but it still needed an extra inch or so of length. I've noticed this with a lot of Gap's tall ...
An Extended Hem
Finding dresses that are an ideal length for the office can be difficult if you are 5'8 or taller. Most retailers are now offering tall sizes online, which is a huge improvement from a few years ago, but it can still be tough to find a dress you love only to realize it hits you mid-thigh. Sometimes when a dress isn't available in a tall version, ...
The Slim Pant- Banana Republic’s Sloan Slim Ankle Crops on Sale!
There's not much to say about this outfit--- a dress shirt paired with a slim pant is hardly anything to get excited about. But---I would be remiss not to mention that my favorite Banana Republic Sloan Ankle Crop Pants are currently on sale for $35 in black and $40 for the navy I'm wearing in this photo. I get the tall and they're just ...
A Jeweled Collar
Did y'all know that J.Crew changed the design of their No. 2 pencil skirt? What the heck! Aside from the fact that they wrinkle like crazy from sitting/general wear, they are nearly perfect in terms of fit. Now, to be fair, I haven't tried the new style on, so I could very well like them as much or more, but the feedback I've gotten so far has not ...
Lace + Chambray
I'm having a lot of my favorite work dresses altered at the tailor this week so sign me up for a week full of skirts! This navy blue lace skirt from Zara has been one of my most favorite pieces for a few years now. It's so feminine and easy to wear. I've also been wearing my Vince Camuto Effel sandals like crazy. They're SO comfortable. ...
