Can I just say how thrilled I am that I got this dress? And how it's even more awesome now that I've had it lengthened? It's a lovely, stretchy, thick fabric and the bold print is fantastic. Unfortunately, it's no longer available, but I have three other BR options posted below that I think are great alternatives. dress- banana republic- ...
Another White Dress
This white dress from Gap is another one I recently had altered to make the hem a little longer. The thing I love most about this dress is its textured stripe pattern. The fabric feels substantial/high quality. I did order this one in a tall size, but it still needed an extra inch or so of length. I've noticed this with a lot of Gap's tall ...
An Extended Hem
Finding dresses that are an ideal length for the office can be difficult if you are 5'8 or taller. Most retailers are now offering tall sizes online, which is a huge improvement from a few years ago, but it can still be tough to find a dress you love only to realize it hits you mid-thigh. Sometimes when a dress isn't available in a tall version, ...
Our Weekend…
About 3 months ago, I collected two garbage bags worth of clothes out of my closet and gave them to a co-worker so she and her sisters could take what they liked, and since one of her sisters had recently started her teaching career, it was great timing. But even after that, my closet still had some items that don't get the love they deserve and so ...
Old Navy Toddler Girl Picks + 25% Off
I haven't shopped at Old Navy in awhile but when I checked out the site while purchasing my Sloan pants the other night from Banana Republic, I couldn't help but notice they had a lot of very cute toddler girl clothes in the "new arrivals" section. They're having a 25% off promotion right now when you spend $75 (use code SAVINGS- it's right on ...
The Slim Pant- Banana Republic’s Sloan Slim Ankle Crops on Sale!
There's not much to say about this outfit--- a dress shirt paired with a slim pant is hardly anything to get excited about. But---I would be remiss not to mention that my favorite Banana Republic Sloan Ankle Crop Pants are currently on sale for $35 in black and $40 for the navy I'm wearing in this photo. I get the tall and they're just ...
A Jeweled Collar
Did y'all know that J.Crew changed the design of their No. 2 pencil skirt? What the heck! Aside from the fact that they wrinkle like crazy from sitting/general wear, they are nearly perfect in terms of fit. Now, to be fair, I haven't tried the new style on, so I could very well like them as much or more, but the feedback I've gotten so far has not ...
Lace + Chambray
I'm having a lot of my favorite work dresses altered at the tailor this week so sign me up for a week full of skirts! This navy blue lace skirt from Zara has been one of my most favorite pieces for a few years now. It's so feminine and easy to wear. I've also been wearing my Vince Camuto Effel sandals like crazy. They're SO comfortable. ...
Our Weekend
I love living in Texas. Believe me, I'm the first to sing the praises of this mostly-sunny-year-round state, but these past few weeks of temps in the 90's and 100's (and about 130 degrees when you get into your car after work) are not good. We had a fun weekend of Harper antics and family time. For some reason, even though she's down to one nap ...
Harper Reese- 14 Months Old!
We are two weeks into Harper's transition to the toddler room at daycare and it could not be going any better. They are on such a fantastic schedule and they do so many activities. arts and crafts and have twice daily outdoor play. They still have the cameras in her class and I was watching one morning while the teachers put on a full-on puppet ...
