Wrap dresses used to be an integral part of my business casual wardrobe. Now that I'm working in a much casual office, I don't reach for my wrap dresses as often, but this particular one I am excited about. I missed out on it the first time around a few years ago, but purchased this secondhand at a great price. The brown and cream herringbone print is very versatile, and I think you can wear pretty much any color with it.

These wedge oxfords are definitely on the trendy side, so I didn't want to invest too much money into a trend. That's where Forever 21 comes in. I've been very pleased with their pieces lately, I feel like I've loved a lot of what I've gotten there recently (sequin sweatshirt, sequin oxfords, etc.). Normally I hate shopping in the crowded stores, but I've started to frequent their Times Square location, which is HUGE and very well stocked. Worth the little bit of effort that it takes for me to trek to there (and to deal with the swarms of tourists).  

I seriously can't believe it's November lately. I feel like it was just yesterday when we were dealing with the intense heat of this past summer. I count my lucky stars every time I'm simply walking around and soaking in the city. I am so grateful to be here! There are definitely times when I miss my family, and unfortunately I won't be making it back for Thanksgiving, but I just absolutely love being in the city. The Christmas decorations that are popping up all over the city are making me love it even more as well.
