Zara yesterday, Zara today. Just like my blazer, this piece came to me pre-loved — in this case, from the thrift store. It’s definitely a bold statement … maybe TOO bold for the office, but I decided to wear it anyway. On a quiet, no-meetings-sitting-at-my-desk-all-day Tuesday. Safe, right?

In any case, people seem to love this dress, and I always get positive comments on it. Seeing as it’s an eyeful on its own, I kept everything else pretty simple. To break up all the brown (rust? copper?), I added cobalt blue accessories — I guess I’ll never get tired of the “pop of colour” approach to accessorizing. Everything is matchy matchy, just as I like it. Yeah, baby.
