Relaxing Saturday Morning – light reading, coffee, and major nail polish decisions
PS – No I’m not vegan, but I do tend to eat a more plant-based diet. I fell in love with vegan cookbooks earlier this year, because they have so many plant based recipes. I like this one, because it’s not a bunch of tofu filled recipes. Just lots of whole real foods!

I’m kind of obsessed with this dress right now! I love so many different things about it. For starters, I love that it is both black and brown. It makes it so easy to pair with different accessories. I can easily wear with both brown or black shoes or purse. You could even toss a colorful purse with this to add even more color to the look. Second, I love the material. It is lightweight and perfect for fall, spring, and possibly even winter with some tights. Last, I love the style of this dress. You can toss on some heels for the office or wedges or riding boots to make it more casual. You can also add a long pendant necklace to this look too! I also like the long sleeves because I get cold super easy. Plus, once it warms up, everyone blasts the A/C inside. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was going to become a highly worn dress in my closet. If you want to create a more defined waist line, you can add a belt to this dress. I really like the comfort and ease of the slightly loose fit.
The darker colors of this dress definitely have a more fall look. If you want to make some of your favorite fall dresses work for spring, try pairing them with wedges. A change of the shoes is one of my favorite ways to transform an outfit between seasons and events. Also, this tote is my reversible tote that you have seen on the blog before but normally I have it on the brown side. I wanted to show you the other side. Much like this black/brown dress, the black/brown of this tote make it so versatile! It will definitely be coming on my summer trips, since it’s like packing two bags in one!

I can’t think of a better way to kick off this Monday than with a little office outfit inspiration. During Spring and Summer, I tend to wear lots of dresses to the office. I love the professional look of a solid color sheath dress. I wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to take a basic office dress and give it a bit more personality. One of my favorite ways to add some flare to an outfit is through accessories. InStyle just launched a jewelry line on HSN, and the pieces are a super cute mix of fabulous statement items and everyday wear basics. A pearl necklace is a great touch for an office outfit. I love this over-sized pearl necklace to add more of a bold statement to the outfit. The collection also has a matching ring which adds a fun trendy feel to the overall look. Since these two pieces are more statement pieces, I kept the rest of my jewelry simple with silver studs and some of my everyday wear bangles. When adding statement jewelry to a work outfit, I typically opt for one maybe two pieces only. I decided to go with both the necklace and ring, because it was just super cute and the two pieces really work well together. If I were to add a bold earring to this look too, the pieces would be competing with each other.
Another fun way to add some flare to a basic dress is with colorful add ons. I think having a few colorful pumps in your closet are great for days when you want something different than a basic black or nude heel. These burgundy ones get so much wear in my office looks. They still have a professional look to them, but just give that little extra something to the outfit. By the way, they are on sale right now too!! I also love adding color with my purse. This Henri Bendel satchel has a very clean, sophisticated, and professional look to it. It comes in a wide array of colors, so you can find the one that best fits your personality. If you are going to mix colors, try to pick colors that work together. I love this green and burgundy color combo.
When you put all these pieces together, it really changes up that basic sheath dress to allow a bit more of your personality show. I love that the outfit still has that professional vibe for the office too. Alright, now let’s grab some coffee and tackle this week!
