I had so much fun wearing a dress yesterday (and received lots of compliments :)) that I decided to wear another one today, especially since I have to go to work! This dress is so much fun to wear. It’s summery, cute and makes me feel like a 1950’s housewife!
On the right I have paired it with a blue cardigan. The dark blue seems so wintery with this light dress, and I don’t like it buttoned up- it seems too wintery.
The yellow blazer is so much brighter- and summery. Since I’m wearing this for work- the blazer adds a little more professionalism to the look. You might notice I decided to keep my neckline bare- thinking there is enough going on with the dress. Lastly, I’m wearing heels- which could be a problem for my foot issue! I’ll let you know how it goes!
I’ve said this a million times but a dress is such an easy way to look put together! The best part is, I’ve found lots of cute dresses at Marshalls and TJ Maxx!



Dress: Marshalls, Shoes: Nordstrom, Yellow Blazer: Nordstrom, Cardigan: H&M
Dresses are my favorite – especially on a warm day! Easy and comfortable! Maybe someday my daughter will understand that they are even more comfortable than gym shorts. (Fingers crossed.)
I love the way the dress looks with the open dark blue cardigan, very cute!
Loving this dress! I notice the cardigan is H&M. I’ve never shopped there, but we’re getting one at our local mall this summer. How do their clothes fit? I’ve always thought of them as a “juniors” type store (like Charlotte Russe & American Eagle) whose clothes I feel fit snugly. I typically go up a size from my normal at places like that. Is H&M similar?
You know with H&M is really depends- I’ve bought items in several different sizes- so you really need to try everything on! I do tend to go up a size when shopping at these ‘teeny bopper’ type stores- but H&M has a section geared towards women more my age- so the clothes are cut a bit different. It’s a fun place to find ‘fast fashion’- items that are trendy and fun, but not all that well made! It’s definitely hit or miss, some days I go in and can’t find a thing, and then others- I totally score! Good luck and thanks so much for writing!
