I purchased this dress with the sole purpose to wear it to work.  Pretty & flirty, it was conservative enough to wear and I was looking for dresses I could wear without blazers or cardigans.  But after lots of wear and washing, regardless of the water temperature and air drying, it just seemed to get shorter and shorter.  I have long legs and dresses tend to ride up easily so there I was at work realizing that if I wore this dress another time, I'd be on the blacklist.  But my heart loves this dress & I refuse to give up so easily.  While I still wear the dress to church and brunches, I continue to wear it as a shirt to work.  It looks great with many different kinds of skirts - this one I had worn to work (hence the nice creasing in the skirt... I'm working on fixing that).  I can also wear it out for a dinner date with jeans when I tie it up in the back and hide it behind a blazer.  Even the under slip I wear as a nightgown.  Mission Accepted & Complete.

After the Memorial Day wedding, I ended the summer with a Labor Day wedding.  I've had this dress for a while now, but I never had the occasion to wear it.  And wow is it comfortable!  I tend to hate how strapless dresses cut my underarm fat but this one makes me happy.  Plus the braiding and pleats are perfect for flattery!

Fall Leather by sarahdusinberre featuring a brown t shirt

I'm definitely jumping on the leather bandwagon this season.  I'm thinking a leather skirt or sleeved t-shirt is going to end up in my wardrobe. Do you want more leather in your closet?  What are you thinking about adding?

This is the outfit that started it all.  Up until Kate wore this outfit and I saw this picture, I had vowed to never own wedges.  A couple of weeks later, I found these black & cork wedges on sale for $10 at Target and I've been obsessed with them ever since.  I had been wearing a dress I found at The Loft for almost a year before one fateful day, when I found this exact Zara dress at my local high-end consignment store... for $36!  This whole outfit cost $71 - a perfect example of looking royal (even in the exact digs) for under $100.
