Working Girl


What I'm wearing:

*anthropologie Reed Shirtdress (similar here)
*Forever 21 Elastic Velcro Loop Belt in Brown
*Mossimo Katherine Engineer Boots in Brown
*MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton Tote in Luggage

I haven't reached for this dress in a very, very long time and I decided that it would be perfect to wear to the office! I feel a bit prairie girl in this plaid dress/rugged boot combination, but I kind of like it! For a potentially rainy day, boots are a necessity. New York has been dreary and rainy so far this week, with no sign of letting up, but I can't say that I hate it. I don't mind rainy weather as long as I'm prepared for it, armed with umbrella, trench, and boots. The worst is when you are stuck without even an umbrella, and you get drenched and have to sit uncomfortably on the subway.

I've been so flaky about posting lately, life has been getting in the way of the blog. I'm still not 100% settled into my apartment (hopefully soon) and work takes up a lot of time. I was in such a rush this morning because I slept through my alarm. What a terrible feeling, I hate it. Well let's see how well the rest of the week goes!

  13. I don't think you look prarie girl here, but it might be the bag that takes it out of that realm for me. I think you're looking fly, and those colors are great for a rainy day!

  14. I LOVE that dress! I've been on the hunt for a good shirtdress that looks more like a dress, less like an oversized men's button down. This one is perfect.
