Happy Friday, everyone! How’s this for a cute, summer-y office outfit? I’m declaring this summer the summer for dresses because they’re the first thing I reach for in the morning. I previously wrote about how I have a closet full of dresses that I never wear (which is a lyric from a Shakira song, btw!) and even devoted a whole week on my blog to dresses in an attempt to motivate me to wear them more often. Nowadays, I can’t get enough dresses. Funny how the pendulum swings.
I love the colors in this dress. They’re so bright and happy! I think that’s why I wore this outfit to the office specifically on a day when we took our new intern out to lunch. Do y’all do that, too? Plan to wear a specific outfit on a certain day because you’re going to be engaging in a particular activity? I do it all the time! I think “Oh, I have this new dress. I’ll save it to wear on X day because we’re doing Y thing.”
I love the flats with this dress but next time I’m going to dress it up with heels. I can’t wait!
Dress: Target | Necklace & Shoes: Old Navy | Blazer: Gap Outlet | Sunnies: Target
And when I’m not dressing it up with a blazer and flats for the office, I’m dressing it down with sandals for family time!

My little family
Floral prints always make me smile!! I love how you brought it together with that dark denim blazer! Looks great!
This is a great dress. I love how versatile it is – it looks great with the blazer and without! I hope your week is off to a great start!
I love how versatile this dress is – it looks so professional with the blazer but also so summery with the sandals. I’ve been reaching for dresses more lately too, though it may just be that I’m too lazy to find a matching shirt and pants for work. 🙂
Kate, I wouldn’t call it lazy, I’d call it practical! Who has time to match shirts and pants for work!? 🙂 Plus, dresses are just more fun.
That dress looks super cute, and it actually looks really comfortable too! I like it with the blazer, but it’s also nice without the blazer because of the sleeves 🙂
Thanks, Liz. I think the sleeves are my second favorite thing about the dress, right behind the colors. And it is really comfortable!
