Easy Spring Style

May 7, 2018 by jessica Leave a Comment

Don’t you just love when you go to Target with a shopping list of the essentials and you leave with a dress you’re excited to wear all season long? This little spring frock was just too good to pass up last weekend. The attention to detail with the ruffled hemline, a subtle gingham texture in the fabric, and a lining (a rarity for something with such a low price point) makes it well worth the $33 price tag and reminds me of something you’d find at Anthropologie. If you click through to the product images, you’ll see that it has ruffled cap sleeves. I thought they were too fussy and looked silly on me, so I tucked them underneath the straps and I’ll eventually have a tailor remove them.

Spark Joie

November 7, 2016 by jessica 8 Comments

The last thing my wardrobe needed was another dress, especially a dark floral frock when I’ve already been adding them to my closet with abandon this season. But you know what? Sometimes you just have to stick with what works for you. I’m a dress die-hard and I knew I had to have this little Joie number the moment I spotted it. I adore the feminine ruffles along the shoulders and the whisper-thin silk chiffon that catches the wind just right. (There’s a slim-fit slip underneath that keeps you from having a Marilyn Monroe moment, which I definitely had with a different dress recently. So embarrassing!) There aren’t many days left where I can go without tights, but this dress is just as cute with tights and a turtleneck sweater layered underneath for a winterized version of the look.

Dress: Joie
Shoes: Kate Spade

Sunglasses: Prada
Necklace: c/o Julie Vos (similar)

Sweater Weather

September is by far my favorite month with the crisp morning air that turns into warm summer-like temperatures by day’s end, the abundance of pumpkin spiced everything (although I can’t get on board with the overly sweet Starbucks #PSL), and an excuse to finally don a sweater. (It always comes back to the clothes, doesn’t it?) I’ve been obsessed with this mini sweater dress from Tobi since its arrival. It’s the perfect thing for chillier mornings that doesn’t leave me overheated by day’s end, and it’s appropriate for work. In fact, this is probably the best example of my typical office attire that I’ve ever posted on the blog. I’m a one-trick pony with a dress, flats, and a pendant!

You can save 50% off your first purchase at Tobi by signing up for their email list. (You should get a pop-up window when you click through.) Here’s a link to the dress I’m wearing. One word of caution: you’ll want to wear a half-slip underneath. The knit isn’t very tight and you can see the shape of your legs if you’re back lit. Just something to keep in mind if you’re going to wear it to work like I’m planning to. The black maxi dress I wore last week is also from Tobi and it’s part of their 50% off dress sale through Sept. 21 with code DRDR. I sized up for both items.

Bag: Tory Burch (love this season’s version)

Rainbow

If it wasn’t obvious from my near radio silence over the last week, I’m entering my busiest work period of the year. The stress is starting to get to me, as it does every year. I’ve been kind of a wreck with anxiety-related insomnia, which brings on spontaneous tears as I try to get through my growing to-do list. (Dave actually calls me “Stressica” in September and October!) I’m sure I’ll be feeling like my #GirlBoss self again soon, especially since there’s no other option than to hustle my way through the next couple of months. It’s definitely easier with a big grin, a ridiculously bright dress, and frequent trips to Starbucks. (Venti, please.)
