Downright Dotty

Let's talk dots. I have a strong love of dots and today we're going to combine my love with an easy to wear trend: black and white.

Asos, John Zack Playsuit in Polka Dot, $64

My dear friend Lacey sported this last week and since then it's been sitting in my cart. I may need it.

Ralph Lauren, Polka Dot Wide Leg Pant, $64

How about these breezy pants with a neon peplum sleeveless blouse? Love.

Macy's, Tahari ASL Sleeveless Polka Dot Tie Front Blouse, $56

Oh Tahari, you get me. A sassy contrasting tie front top that is perfect for work or play.

Nordstrom, Vince Camuto Polka Dot Midi Tube Skirt, $59

Just a touch below the knee makes this skirt retro while still being sexy.

Who doesn't love a great polka dot? No one. Now pair it with any color under the sun, that's the beauty of the black and white trend.

Be fabulous today!

What I Scored

Hey lovebugs, 
It's rare that I shop in the non-sale section.  Unless I'm shopping for the brands I love and cherish like Kate Spade, Cole Haan, Michael Kors, etc.  I like to get some bang for my buck.  Now there are certain items that I will splurge on (mainly shoes) and one of those is multipurpose dresses.  Dresses are such a great go to item that are easy to throw on and accessorize.  


I needed to get some work dresses for my upcoming trip this week so I headed down to Macy's to do some damage.  Wanna see my scores?

MICHAEL Michael Kors Dress, Printed Sheath with Belt, $99

You know I'm going to stay under $100, and I did just that with this beautiful sheath from Michael Kors.    It's got this chic mock-croc print all over and the belt breaks it up beautifully.

AGB Dress, Dot print belted dress, $44.50

I'm obsessed with this dress.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  I plan on wearing it all four season.

Tahari Arthur Levine, Crepe Sheath, $99

The one I got at Macy's came with a thick patent leather belt, which is why I think it's more work-appropriate.  I'll wear this with a black cardi and tights.

Butter, Scoop Pump, $167 (I got with 25% promo code)

Can I tell you something? These are the most comfortable dress shoes I've ever put on my feet.  They are seriously like butter. Omg.

So how did I do? Did you like my picks?  I really like my dresses because I think they will be very versatile for work, family holidays, parties, and more.

Be fabulous today!

One Shoulder It!

Today is one dreary day in DC. Can I get an AMEN on that please? It's cold, it's kind of raining but not really and the sun has yet to make an appearance. Let's try to get out of this Monday funk by looking at some party dresses.

One trend that I'm warming up to is the one shoulder dress. Mostly seen on little black dresses, this style has translated across the spectrum from casual to black tie. It adds a bit of unexpected to a dress while still covering (well at least one) shoulder. Sometimes a little bit 'rocker' but it can also be made into sweet. Let's look at some options:

Bloomingdales, Aqua Draped Jersey Dress, $78

LOVE the tights with this and the navy is heavenly

Delia's, Alexis one-shoulder dress, $44.50

loving the effortlessness of this one

Macy's, Temped Dress, $38

Casual AND colorful...not to mention the price!

Tahari, one shoulder polka dot with bow, $83.99

I could not be more in love with this dress.

Suit Up!

Yesterday I told you what I wore to an event on the Hill. But what I didn't do is give you some options for suits that aren't stuffy! Now, this goes above my less than $100 rule for this blog but suits are a little more expensive, and if they fit correctly they're a piece you can break up and where for a very long time. Hope you enjoy!

JC Penny, Nine & Co 5 button skirt suit, $79.99
I'd pair with red heels to break it up, and use the blazer with jeans for casual Fridays






(I love this tie!)








Anne Klein, Taupe Plaid Suit, $142.99








(I LOVE the seaming on the waist of this jacket and the one button)











The Limited, Novelty Suit, together $142.74



Tahari, Bow Collar Jacket with Belt and Skirt, $139.99
And My favorite! Feminine, belted, skirt, and sale!!!
