When In Doubt Make It a Dress

Outfit Details:

dress: Notations (c/o)

belt: HauteLook

heels: Sole Society

hair freshly done by Daniel at Iva Bella Salon

Notations was so nice to send me some of their pieces to check out and this was one of them. It actually came with a belt, and I believe it is supposed to be a wrap sweater. However, I will say I was slightly apprehensive about wearing this color. Brown is not usually a color I am drawn to wearing, unless it is a darker, chocolatey shade. So I made a decision to just wear it as a wrap dress and figured maybe it would tend towards a slightly 70's look. So I ran with that! 

 Instead of the tie belt that came with it, I replaced it with a wide belt. Voila! I transformed it into a dress! I definitely liked this look, but I know if my hair was darker, the color would have been more flattering. The material of the dress/ sweater was so extremely soft and a dream to wear!

Stay tuned for more treasures from Notations and NY Collection! 

On a side note... I went to the Gilt City Warehouse sale in DC...stay tuned for a peak at those treasures as well!

Corner Office

Outfit Details:

All from Do You...Deja Vu Boutique in Warrenton, VA

top: Liz Claiborne

skirt: vintage

ring: vintage

earrings: vintage

shoes: (mine) Sole Society (similar)

Last week was a super busy whirlwind of events and gigs for work. Whenever I have weeks like that (or months) I just want to put on my pjs and sleep for a few days to re-energize my business drive. To be honest this does happen a lot; but lately I have been able to take the usual day off and then I put on my big girl panties and get back into the 'boss lady" swing of things. 

Dressing like a high powered exec helps in my motivation process and imagining I have a gorgeous corner office to conquer the world of makeup and fashion! So follow my lead and when you are feeling tired and drab...take a nap and then get that pencil skirt on and pop on some sky high heels and get to work! 

What do you do to stay motivated, when you are feeling tired and ready to hibernate for a bit?
