Same Great Dress, Subtle New Look

In my day-to-day work life I tend to wear a lot of dresses. They're easy; one piece, add some shoes and your're ready to go. But, this ease doesn't mean it's easy to mix it up. It actually means the opposite. With one piece, there are only so many ways you can wear it.

But, I was up for the challenge.

I took one of my favourite dresses and decided to pair it with all brown accessories to bring out the brown tones, and give it a subtle change.

When in Rome

I find that casual Fridays are anything but. Getting dressed on a Friday morning in the summer causes me more stress than any other day of the week. It's too hot to throw on a pair of jeans, but then one must be cautious of wearing too little clothing - don't want to give the office too much to talk about.

More than any other day of the week I find myself changing clothes three or four times before leaving the house on a Friday morning.

And, this past Friday was no exception. It was too hot; I was sweating the moment I stepped out of the shower. It was gross. And it was only 7am. There was no way a sudden burst of cold air was going to overtake the city - it was only going to get worse.

I spent at least 20 minutes frustrated as I leafed through my closet hoping there would be something I'd forgotten about; the perfect piece tucked away at the back just screaming to be worn. 

That didn't happened. 

So, I opted for one of my favourite weekend dresses and a pair of gladiator sandals.

 The dress is a bit shorter than I would normally wear to the office - with bare legs that is, I rock this baby with tights all throughout the wintertime - but it was just too hot of a day.

Sometimes we just have to take a risk for comfort...

and fashion.
