This pretty pale pink dress arrived on my doorstep for my birthday (thanks Mom — and Dad!) and I couldn’t wait to wear it. Luckily, a happy hour invitation provided the perfect excuse. While I would generally reach for my faux fur vest and nude platforms to complete the look, I thought I better try something new before you, dear readers, pummel me with tomatoes for wearing the same thing over and over again.
Luckily, my friend Helen had just given me this navy blazer, and I liked how it balanced out the sweet girly feel of the frock and made this office (um, or office-to-cocktails) appropriate. To add more shape to my waist, in lieu of buttoning up the blazer I simply used the belt that came with the dress and tied it snugly around my midsection.
A pop of turquoise and baby blue on my feet, with a sprinkle of sunshiney yellow on my nails, and I was ready for cocktails with some of my favorite ladies.
Here’s wishing you happy times with your favorite people this weekend and always xx.
