Workwear: Red Floral Blouse
Happy Friday the 13th!! I find some people think this is a good luck day and others think it’s a bad luck day. I have decided to wait until the end of the day to decide. 😉 I know it’s going to be a busy one at work which is fine with me because it will make the day go by so fast, and then Hello Weekend!
My favorite new work pants and I are back with another work outfit for you. I love these Topshop tops for the office. You can find it in both solids and prints. The red, white, and black floral one really caught my eye. It’s a print that will work across all seasons, so you can get lots of wear out of it. I love the tie waist look to add a little definition to the waist. The loose breezy fit makes this top pair perfectly with skinny pants and pencil skirts. You can take this top to weekend by adding in skinny jeans.
The top does have a slit in the front and back. I’m wearing a black camisole with this one to make it more work appropriate. Also, it’s Topshop, so you will need to size up. I’m wearing a US6.
I hope you all have a great weekend ahead! If you are in the mood for a little sale shopping, Shopbop is having their big sale of the year! You can save 20% off or 25% if you spend over $500. I’m planning to check out their jeans because I need a new pair, and probably the shoes because well you can never have too many shoes. Thanks for stopping by ya’ll!

Yellow Off the Shoulder Dress
Hello!! How was your weekend? We had a randomly cold weekend here. I had to pull out my sweaters and coats. I was not feeling it, and I ended up spending most of the weekend indoors in my coziest loungewear.
This yellow dress is a breath of fresh Spring air after our cold weekend. I have been noticing a little bit more yellow out this season, and I’m really excited about it. It’s a color I love to wear, but I don’t really own much of it. I’m hoping to add a bit more this Spring and Summer. The bold yellow of this dress was the perfect backdrop for my beaded tassel necklace. I love how the different colors pop against the yellow. For a more fitted look to this dress, try belting it. You can pick a fun color like blue or red to contrast against the dress color.
I originally thought about pairing this outfit with neutral or brown wedges, but then I found these color-block cuties in my closet. I love all the bright colors mixed together. It just adds to the fun and flirty nature of the dress. This outfit would be perfect for an afternoon sipping wine on a patio friends, a casual evening party, or a fun date night.
I found a few more yellow favorites below, and don’t forget to check out today’s Style File Link Up! Ya’ll have a good week!

Spring “It” Dress for All the Events
Happy Friday! I am so excited to share this teal floral dress with you guys. I am OBSESSED with this dress. It was love at first sight for sure. I was immediately drawn to the gorgeous deep teal color and fun floral embroidered design on the dress. But it was the sexy little cutout and slight showing of skin that really made me like this dress. I feel like it’s a fun little surprise addition to the dress. Gorgeous and sophisticated in the front with a little fun and flirty in the back.
I officially declare this dress my Spring It Dress for all the events of the season. I can see wearing this to a Spring or Summer wedding, a bridal shower, or date night. It’s one of those dresses that instantly puts you in a fabulous, happy, and fun mood. Even better the price tag, it’s only $60! I’m wearing the petite size, but I linked both the regular and petite for you.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, and thank you so much for taking some time out of your week to stop by! I appreciate it so much that you come hang out with me on this little space of mine!

My New Black Work Pants
Hello ladies!! I’m sharing a simple and chic work outfit idea for you today, and it features my new black work pants! I have always been a huge fan of Loft for all my work pant needs, but the last pair I purchased was a little lacking in the quality department. The back seam split down the length of my leg on both sides. It’s the first time this has happened and everything else I buy is great quality, so I feel like I just got a bad pair. It did however make me a little nervous to buy another pair from them with a back of the leg seam.
I decided to venture out and look for a new brand of work pants. Since I’m petite (5’3), I really wanted to find a place that sold petite pants, so I wouldn’t need alterations. My sister did a little leg work for me trying out J.Crew and Banana Republic. Her winner was the Banana Republic Sloan pants. Since I knew Banana had a great petite section, I checked them out first and fell in love too. These pants have minimal stretching throughout the day, and so far the quality has been top notch. I love that the length hits perfectly at the ankle.
I only bought one pair to give them a little test run, and I am ready to declare these my favorite new work pants. Next time I see one of the 40 or 50% off sales at Banana Republic, I plan to buy a couple more pairs in black and another fun color or two.
Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to join in on the Style File Link Up fun, and have a wonderful week!
