Metallic Mondays

June 25, 2013

Printed Dress 9

So yesterday was a weird day. I got up a little later than normal after traveling to and from Madison this weekend to visit my sister, and wasn’t exactly looking forward to a day at work, but who is on a Monday? Anyway, I showed up to an almost completely empty parking lot. Uh ohhhh… I immediately thought back to Friday where my company’s power was out for a couple hours due to the storms the night before. Well I guess another round of bad storms hit the Minneapolis area on Friday night and the power had been out since then. So I turned around, got Starbucks and settled in at home to work from my own lap top! Granted it was a little difficult to do much aside from check my email since most of the documents I need are saved on my computer at work, but hey I won’t complain!

And of course, I actually liked what I was wearing yesterday, so I asked my boyfriend to snap photos before I changed into comfy shorts and a tank top (holy hot and humid yesterday). It was a simple outfit: dress, belt, heels, but it is a no-brainer on a Monday morning and adding these metallic heels gave it just enough excitement.

    I love it! I think it’s almost too nice to sit at the desk all day! I’d go out in it too!

      Haha! After I saw pictures I would totally wear this on a nice date with my boyfriend or even to a wedding! But the dress is so comfy and the dress was an easy way to dress it up so I guess I didn’t even realize it looked so fancy!

      Thank you Brynn! And haha, can you tell it is humid or what?! My hair loves volume when it is humid and this is actually my natural hair after sleeping on it wet (plus humidity). I kind of like the summer for this reason (well many others) but I can usually just spritz on some curl spray and my hair stays put for the day!

    There’s been a few times I’ve gotten to work and there was no power. And they made us work anyway…it was terrible! The print on that dress is so pretty!

    You look fabulous, Rachel! I’ve been on the hunt for cute and affordable metallic heels. ps. I especially love the belt.. So many outfits you can wear with it! ps. in regards to your question about the justfab party, I usually get promo emails but nothing specifically about what we discussed. ps. we must do a blog collab one of these days. Hope you’re doing well, and I just realized that I wrote you a book in your comment section.. lol

    Great dress! I love the gray and purple mixed together. And the belt is such a pretty touch. How weird that the power is out still, but you can’t complain about a free day off!!
