Friday, Sunday, Monday: Print Dresses

My apologies for falling behind on posting and commenting. It was a crazy week at work, the weekend was full of plans with girlfriends, and then work was right back into the same problems I was tussling with when I left on Friday. I don't know when those will get cleared up, but I am reading and collecting posts I want to reply to soon.

Plus, Lost ended. Sniffle, heavy sigh. It was SO GREAT.

ANYWAY, I've been saved by my collection of print dresses. In the last 4 days, they have gotten me through every event and the wildly fluctuating temperatures (last week, 50, this week 80. Hello!) handily.

Friday:



Jones New York blue print knit dress from Macys. Have I worn this on the blog yet? It was perfect at my girlfriend's shower a couple weeks ago, but I think this is its first wearing here. It was cool out so I paired it with a navy silk sweater from BR and my new beloved nude Aquatalia Jacks boots. The event on Friday was that I had to go to one of my hospitals to do some hands-on work to solve an issue; I needed to be authoritative but not aggressively so, so a sweater was better than a jacket. The boots were for me; I believe I ended up wearing them almost every day that week!



Next time I wear this one I want to go more casual like my celebrity fashion idol Reese Witherspoon. I love, love, love how she dresses!

Sunday:



I went to the local casino with another girlfriend -- oops, forgot about these plans while I spent the whole weekend before doing the same thing -- and the temperature shot up to 80 overnight. This is a new Kohls dress -- a jersey-cotton one from the Daisy Fuentes line -- and I just adore the bright colors to it. It's pretty bust-a-licious so I added an orange ON tank top and a white short-sleeved Loft cardigan. My bronze BOC sandals came back out from last year, and I was set.

Monday:

Monday was simple knit dress day at work; almost everyone from the boss on down was in some variation of the same concept. My boss' boss had one on that was very similar to the Jones New York one I wore on Friday. Heh. (Hmmm, I can wear that this week because I wasn't in the office on Friday so no one saw it. Good plan!)



Mine is my most favorite and most worn kickass Kohls dress -- from last year's collection, not this one, sorry. LOVE the blue and greens together! I paired it with a teal camisole, a black ribbon at the waist, and my black peeptoe wedges from Loft, this time without the little ankle straps. (My ankles are so swollen right now, UGH. I hate TOM and massive temp swings. They are already almost back to normal today, but when they're bloated it is the worst feeling. They look like my grandmother's!)



This is just the best dress ever. I don't know what I would do without it.
