Happy Labor day weekend everyone! I hope everyone has something planned for their extra day off. Well for those of you that have that extra day off. For those that don't. I am soooooooooo sorry. That totes sux. This weekend is a little poopy because it has been intermittent rain. Definitely ruined plans to lay out pool side and bbq. Friday was great though. I celebrated a birthday for a very special lady at Bluebird in Bucktown. No boys allowed at this dinner so definitely nice to have some girly chit chat. Happy birthday to my darling MP! I hope you love your new ring. =)
Birthday dinners allow me a chance to get dressed up and dolled up. I thought this dress was perfect for the day. I knew I wanted to do a shoot today for the blog but I also had to work all day. I would have had to go straight from work, to a location for our shoot, to stroll through stores for a birthday present (yea I procrastinated and bought her present that same day.. she knows and still loves me anyway), then finally to dinner. Basically I had to find something appropriate enough for the office, yet something cute for the blog, and dressy enough for dinner and also sassy enough if we decided to find an after party. I think this dress hit all those points don't you? I love the way it's sailor inspired and makes me think of boats and sails. Hehehe... I also had a twitter comment a couple of days ago from someone that works in a corporate environment and she was wondering what kind of things I wear to work. I hope she sees this post. =) Although at work if my skirt is a little above the knee I tend to wear flats. My old job was a little more used to my sky high heels than my current one. Sometimes you gotta slowly incorporate that in and not all at once. Hahaha. For those of you in corporate America, how do you guys incorporate style into a corporate setting?
