Boyfriend dress

Since I moved to a business dress company environment, I've adopted a sort of uniform. You'll either find me wearing a pencil skirt and blouse, or a fun dress. I try to keep it a little fun by mixing in statement jewelry or amazing shoes. Today, I paired this DVF ruched bodycon dress with my favorite LK Bennett cheetah print booties and kept the jewelry to a minimum. The booties are always noticed, by both my coworkers and fellow train commuters. Also, believe it or not, they're totally comfortable!


One thing that might surprise you about this look - I didn't pick out any of these items for myself! While I was out of town a few weeks ago, the boyfriend did some shopping. While he shops for himself, he'll often wander through the women's department and pick up a few unusual pieces for me! The dress and shoes were both a part of one or two of his shopping trips. He always brings home things that I would have never tried for myself and it makes trying them on at home so much more fun!




I think the dress was scored at Century 21, so I couldn't find the exact same one online. Here are a few other options with fun asymmetrical necklines!

Call of the Wilde


Happy Friday everyone! I know that I just showed you this MaxMara shrug last week, but I've been living in it since then! It's funny how throwing something over your shoulders can really warm you up. Today I'm pairing it with one of my favorite Diane Von Furstenberg dresses. I picked this one up just before I started my new job and I just love it!  You can't tell, because it's freezing out, but it actually has these cute cap sleeves.

Oh, and those shoes?  Can you believe that the boyfriend found them for me? He knew I had been searching for some cheetah pumps and discovered these (in my size!) at Century 21.  Bonus - They were 75% off.  Such a good boyfriend! They totally add a bit of fun to an otherwise simple work look.
