I know: this blog might as well be called “A Dress A Day, Everyday” because that’s what it seems to have turned into, but bear with me. I got some new pretties in the mail this week:
Yes, I went a little nuts with the J. Crew shoe sale a few weeks ago — but it was *such* a good sale, you guys. (50% off final sale, can I get a “whoop whoop”!) Each of these pairs came to about $80 including shipping which, while not cheap, is a great deal for the quality they offer. I love my old J. Crew pumps, and these look to be just as good (and comfy too). So, of course, I couldn’t wait to wear them.
Speaking of fab new things, I love this dress so much. It’s lined and has pockets, and it’s sleek and cute and comfortable all at the same time. There’s an interesting contrast panel around the back, which I will have to show you next time because … blazer, duh. Still in a hearing. This particular blazer is pretty good too — there is a good percentage of elastane in it, so it has some stretch that makes it comfortable for long days of sitting and typing. I can’t emphasize how much of a difference that 2-4% elastane can make — and I say that as someone who used to hate blazers and eschew them in favour of cardigans. Check the fabric content, my friends!
Gosh I love all these things. The shoes. The colours. The dress. How smart you look whilst still looking interesting. I’ve been in a dress a day everyday for two weeks as it’s been so darn hot, no blazers to keep things interesting here so I’m living vicariously through you instead and all these fabulous outfits you keep posting day after day 🙂
Thanks, Lou! I don’t envy you all that heat, but you make dressing for +30 look amazing. Although, I must say that it’s been fairly warm here too (upper 20s) and having to wear blazers outside (the hearing room is an icebox) has been a challenge.
That outfit rocks! You rock! Oooo the shoes, the dear little shoes…me want!😺
Haha! Thanks, Jeri! The shoes are great — even my husband thought so 😉
This is a great outfit and I think the fact that you picked purple suede shoes instead of black puts it over the top!

Thanks! I haven’t done a coloured shoe in a while, so it was nice to break away from black for a bit.
I’m really enjoying the dresses and blazers – it’s a master class on how to dress professionally for work in the summer!
Thanks, Laura!
