There were a few elements that I wanted to try when I wore this outfit.  I wanted a leather or leather-like skirt for a long time, and finally scored this one on sale.  And, I wanted to wear an outfit with a light color palette on top and dark tights and shoes on the bottom.  I really like the result!  I wore this outfit while shopping at Anthropologie a couple weeks ago.  While I was checking out, the sales associated commented that I looked like an Anthropologie Girl that day.  Dang skippy.  I call that an outfit win!

This is my "business wear because I don't want to wear a suit" outfit.  I had a big presentation to give at work to the leadership team that morning and I was trying to be business-y, but not stuffy.  I think I achieved my goal! I picked up this amazing (petite sized!) dress from Banana Republic because it look super DVF-ey and I couldn't help myself.  I'm so glad that I did!  It's an amazing because it looks pulled together, but satisfies my constant need for patterns and prints.  AND I still get to wear a scarf with a small print on it that doesn't interfere with the dress's big one.  Win all around! 

What do you wear for business wear as alternatives for suits?  

OOTD: Night Out

When it comes to going dancing in the city, I find it a bit trying to figure out what to wear.  Dressing up is super fun, but I find that the type of dress tend to vary a bit.   I typically waffle between one of the following:

1. Tighter pants, sky high heels, & a cute, body skimming top
2. Short skirt, cute top, med-high heels
3. Dress w/ shorter hemline, med-high heels

This particular time I went with #3.  We went dancing in the North Beach area in Bubble Lounge, but not without a beer at the German restaurant La Trapp.  It was a pretty awesome time!  It's hard for me to stay out so late as I get a little older (boo!), but I love to do this type of thing once in a while.

 

Outfit Details
Dress: Modcloth Foliage of Innocence Dress (similar at Modcloth here, here, Milly here
Shoes: Target Pearce Pumps (buy here)
Necklace: Francesca's Collections (similar at Shop Bop here, Macy's here)
Tights: Spanx (buy here)

  

Unfortunately, one of the side effects of wearing high heels is that they tend to get stuck in street cracks.  My amazing, Target, nude pumps have been rendered completely useless after stepping in a sidewalk crack! Argh.  A moment of silence for one of my fav pairs of shoes this last year or so .... 

Luckily, Target's started production of this amazing pair again, so maybe I'll invest (can you invest in fast fashion?) in another pair.
