Friday Formal
14 Sep
Blazer – The Limited | Dress – NY & Co | Necklace – JC Penney | Shoes – Nine West
Inspired by Laura and the fact that I will be attending a strategic plan launch event this Friday afternoon, I went dressy casual with a maxi dress and a blazer.
I couldn’t get a good picture this morning, though. This is what happens when you try to squeeze in pictures before work and your tripod is a highboy patio table.
Oh, and the sun’s in your eyes.
Regardless, I think this is a fun way to dress up a maxi dress for work. Don’t have a maxi dress? What about a long skirt with a top and a blazer? Don’t forget the statement necklace!

A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying. 
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.
Love it! The black on black looks very sleek
Thanks! I do love your striped maxi but I don’t have one quite that cute. So, black on black it was!
I adore that necklace. ADORE it.
Thanks! They actually have the same one but with more colors right now. I wonder if they still have this one in the stores!
