Dress: Marissa Webb (top and skirt version here and here on sale!); Shoes: Christian Dior; Bag: Proenza Schouler; Sunglasses: Celine; Lips: Stila "Beso"
Most days, my morning meetings start around 8:30 or 9, which makes my morning hustle and commute that much more interesting to pull off (read: with traffic, it generally takes 2.5 hours to get to work). Yikes. This tends to result in a few things.
1.) I'm getting pretty darn efficient at dressing in the dark lately. Good or bad? I'm not sure.
2. ) I rely heavily on a rotation of quirky work dresses that I can mix and match with different heels.
3.) Dry shampoo is a godsend. Day old curls are usually the best anyway, am I right?
4.) Lipstick can work wonders, even if you're still fighting yawns.
5. I'm trying to skip my normal caffeine routine and opting for a green juice of some sort. It's been difficult adjusting but I think I'll end up feeling more energized in the long run.
Beautiful dress and heels.

What dry shampoo do you use as a brunette?
ReplyDeleteSuper cute dress- love the print!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes!! I love colorful pumps but especially love when someone diverts from the typical pink and blue we regularly see. Green metallic! I just realized I need a pair of green metallic pumps in my life.
ReplyDeleteI could totally do this crop top look. Very nice take on your part. Only showing the crop on the back of the dress.
