Head on
By paring the short sleeve dress (yes, that is a dress, the pieces are attached!) with leggings, it becomes not only work appropriate, but also warm enough for the cooler temperatures.
- Dress – Theory
- Shoes – Calvin Klein
SO SIMPLE!
Next I paired a black and white summer dress with a warm, comfy cardigan. While I like the simplicity of black and white, I wanted to add a bit of personality. With the addition of a bold belt and bright shoes, I felt a lot more ’springy!’
Black and white with a punch of color

BUSY weekend ahead of us!

Should be interesting… I might try and pick up some Spock ears for the Mister — HA! we’d probably fit right in!

Everyone looks great! Fashion Fridays are sooo much fun…
I LOVE the purple shoes!!!
Aww I just adore that flower dress paired with the green and purple.
You’re too cute!
-E
I gotta ask, where do you take these photos? It looks like a public restroom. Every Friday I laugh and laugh bc I’m always sitting here in practically my pajamas while you’re all looking cute
Michelle — O yea, baby – company bathroom
I LOVE your dress in the first photo – shows off your tiny waist! Love all the spring colours on everyone too.
still, you look really cute today! nice outfit. have a great weekend!
You’re looking gorgeous as always! I used to have a black and white skirt like that but my dry cleaner lost it
I need to submit a picture for next week. I miss being a contestant already
Again, really enjoyed the Fashion Fridays. So much fun to read and to check out what other bloggies are wearing.
I don’t think I can pull of the violet color shoes with the ensemble, but you rocked it (as always).
I love Fashion Fridays! Everyone always looks great AND I get ideas for my own wardrobe
I love how you wore the purple shoes with a green belt! I still have to work on not being so matchy. But I was raised on being matchy, hard to over come. I fight it every day LOL!
i love the dress from talbots- its perfect for spring with the green belt! and the shoes are so sweet too- love the detail
I always find i have to have pieces like that- nothing too funky, or trendy because i need it to last a few years.. that outfit is one of those!!
I love that green belt – such a fun pop of color!
Man, I am so jealous! Scientists never get to dress cute. I tried once and everyone assumed my IQ dropped for the day. How did I get the only job in the world where cuteness is a liability?
p.s. LOVE the green belt
That black and white floral dress. I can’t believe it was <$30.
