Workwear: Gray Lace Blouse
Hello! How was your weekend? The Pink concert was amazing! If you get a chance to go, I highly recommend. I have such a busy week ahead, probably the busiest of the month! I’m celebrating birthdays, engagements, the derby, so much fun coming at me this week!
I have another work outfit idea for ya’ll today. I adore this gray lace blouse, I mean gray and lace, sold! Ha! These lace tops can be worn multiple ways for both work and weekends. For work, you can also pair this top tucked into a pencil skirt. You could do black, a lighter shade of gray, or a fun color like pink. For weekends, grab a pair of white jeans, and you are good to go! This top would also work tucked into a pair of cotton shorts for a dressier weekend look.
This lace trend will be around for a while, which means you can also wear this dark gray top in the fall and get even more wears out of it. With lace tops, I usually opt for no necklace. I find they sometimes get caught in the lace. A long pendant would be perfect with this one, just make sure the pendant doesn’t have any edges that might attach to the lace.
Thanks for stopping by and I will see you back here on Friday! Oh and don’t forget to check out today’s Style Link Up for more outfit inspiration!

Fit & Flare Coral Dress
Happy Friday Ladies!! We survived the week!! This was a crazy one for me in both work life and blog life. I scheduled myself a yoga class tomorrow morning. It’s going to be the perfect way to start my weekend in relaxation mode and get rid of all the craziness of the week. I have a busy few weeks coming up, so my weekend will probably filled with lots of working ahead on the blog. Although, I am hoping to get out to the pool on Sunday. It is forecasted to be 80 and sunny!
Now let’s talk about this coral dress, I am in love! I have a couple dresses from this designer, and I think they always nail the perfect fit of a dress. This dress is perfect for work, church, baby and bridal showers, luncheons, weddings, graduations, and basically any event you want a stylish and sophisticated look. I love the coral color. It’s perfect for both Spring and Summer. My favorite detail on this dress is the tie neck. I love that it is a thin and delicate bow which gives such a sweet feminine touch. The fit of this dress is between a fit and flare and shift dress. I think the overall shape is so flattering. I kept my jewelry, shoes, and clutch minimal and neutral to really let the beauty of the dress shine.
Alright ya’ll have a wonderful weekend, and thank you so much for stopping by!!

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!

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!
