post #53. Working Woman's Wardrobe - Long Sleeved Dresses

15 November 2013

Happy Friday! I'm still sniffly and recovering, but thanks for all of your sweet messages about being sick last week!

 I hope you're as excited for the weekend as I am! This weekend, we have a few friends coming in town and *brace yourself* we are attending the South Carolina game! It's going to be difficult to wear garnet, but after a few cocktails I don't think I'll mind so much. 

I got a text from a friend recently that sparked this post. She asked if I'd seen any cute long sleeved dresses for work - her boss had several, but they were all designer. Or sweater dresses (quite possibly the most unflattering thing I could ever wear). For those of us just starting out in the real world, it can be tough to wear stylish and professional clothes to work every day without repeating too frequently. I find this especially true in the winter, considering the only thing I want to wear in the morning is leggings and wool sweaters. Not exactly workwear.

I scoured the internet to find this week's Friday Five - Five dresses, winter and work appropriate, under $150. 

Friday Five (Under 150)

1. Ann Taylor 3/4 Button Shift Dress - $149, currently 30% off {buy it here}
2. Ralph Lauren Suede Trim French Terry Dress - $129, on sale for $90 {buy it here}
3. Michael Kors Draped Wrap Effect Stretch Jersey Dress - $120 {buy it here}
4. Zara Dress with Front Seams - $60 {buy it here}
5. Nanette Lepore Rabat Two-Tone Ponte Dress - $249, on sale for $148 {buy it here}

Which dresses are your favorites?

(P.S. In other exciting news, I think my blog design is finally almost ready! It took longer than I expected, but I'm so excited for the makeover! Get ready for a big reveal next week *crossing fingers*)

post #16: Carrying the Weight of the World - In a Gorgeous Bag

25 June 2013

Carrying the Weight of the World...in a gorgeous bag

For the past several months, I've been looking for a big, wonderful tote to spend my graduation dollars on.

My criteria are: 
Camel/tan color so it can be carried with both browns and blacks
Real leather
Big enough to carry a BUNCH of stuff (including file folders, an iPad, and all my personal items)
Under $500. 

I want a bag that I can carry every day, that I'll have and will be in style for a very long time, and that can adequately substitute for a briefcase. Because, seriously, how many cute briefcases are there for girls? 

Carrying the Weight of the World


#1 - Michael Kors Collection, Miranda Stitch Leather Tote, $995 Find it Here! (probably a bit too pricy for me, but it's too pretty not to share!)
