Well, hello there! I know I said I was done but I received enough encouragement from friends and readers and the like to keep it going. I guess I’m no quitter 😉 (j/k, I legit quit things all the time – a bad habit I’m working on). Anyway, I’m back with my bathroom mirror selfies/Instagram Outfit Roundup. This time I’ve decided to go with a theme: dresses!

These are some of the dresses I regularly wear to the office and out and about. I haven’t featured these on the blog yet so I figured this was as good a time as any to do so. Enjoy!

Oh, hi floral dress and adorable lace-up espadrilles! How cute you make these dreary days. I think the feminine floral pattern is so pretty, but I really love how comfortable this dress is. It’s perfect for the office or I can throw on a denim jacket (light or dark) for a fun, easy look on the weekends.
Dress, Cardigan, and Espadrilles: Old Navy

I welcomed in Spring with this gorgeous asymmetrical midi (that’s more like a maxi on this shorty) dress from the Who What Wear line at Target. I love the color and how swishy it is when I walk. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for the midweek slump!

Here I am wearing an oldie but a goodie. I got this dress in one of my very first Stitch Fix boxes and it’s help up each spring and summer. It’s got everything: stripes, floral, and a fun, feminine fit. The only thing that concerns me is the length. It feels much shorter now than it used to so I wasn’t sure if it was work appropriate. I might have to save this one for evenings and weekends.

Polka dots! This dress has become my go-to for work events. I wore it to two conferences – one at the beach and another hosted by my organization – both back in May. It’s comfortable but also a little bit sexy while remaining work appropriate. Heck yes.

Hi, friends! It’s been a busy few weeks but this dress just couldn’t stay off the blog.

I didn’t think Nick had gotten me anything for Mother’s Day – because he hadn’t! – so we went shopping at the Tanger Outlets in Mebane where I picked up this cute dress and a few other things from the Loft Outlet. It’s my favorite color (purple) and feels like those t-shirt sheets we all had on our dorm beds in college, which is to say it’s so comfortable. This particular Loft outlet has a great selection of petites and that’s why this dress fits so well.

On Wednesday, Nick and I took the day off of work to celebrate his upcoming birthday. We decided we would go to a fancy spa nearby and pamper ourselves with couple’s massages, relaxation, and a fancy lunch. This cute little Market & Spruce dress I got from my latest Stitch Fix is what I wore. The spa day sounded great in theory but, what I didn’t expect when I got there was just how out of my element I would feel in that setting. You see, I’m from a working class family where I was taught that your work ethic should be strong and the little luxuries were buying the name-brand cereal. Taking a whole day (or even half a day) to sit around in fancy robes and sip citrus water elixirs while harps played in the background was unheard of.

Oh, hi there! It’s been a hot minute since I shared a *real* outfit post but here I am. If you follow my Instagram (or view the widgets at the bottom of my blog page) then you’ve probably gotten used to those office bathroom selfies with the harsh florescent lighting, but on one of my days off recently, I found these photos on my nice camera and decided to share. I realize that the weather in my neck of the woods (and most of the Southern US) is warming up because Spring is beginning to show itself in full force, but this was one of my favorite winter/colder weather outfits and it seemed a shame not to post it.

It has rained every day this week in Durham and I’m over it. But I figured the rain + casual Friday at the office is a good chance to wear my favorite ankle boots and an army vest that hasn’t gotten much love lately. When I put this outfit on, I realized that it is extremely similar to one I wore four+ years ago, so I decided that this was a recreation/update of that outfit.
