My Wardrobe Today – Monday
Dress – c/o Ann Taylor (similar)
Belt – Another Line (similar)
Shoes – Miss Sixty (similar)
Cuff – Owned since 1997
This morning I was thinking of getting all creative, pairing my new polka-dotted silk CAbi shirt with a vintage sequined jacket and dark jeans. I started getting dressed and just felt hot, too layered, and not me today. Today is a dress day. A day where I don't have to think much but still look sassy sort of day. And with that comes these booties. I know it's the third outfit in a row with them, but they are just so darn comfortable and take an outfit from being too dressy or too prim to feeling kind of rocker and I like that. So I may feel exhausted and boring but I look as though I put forth a bunch of effort!
I gravitated towards this dress as soon as Ann Taylor had it in their stores, but I held off because I felt I didn't need ANOTHER black dress. And then it went on sale. And then they had a discount on top of sale merchandise. And then Ann Taylor was lovely enough to send me a gift card a few weeks ago which will go even farther since I got this dress for only $45! it's hard to see, but the dress is a stretch satin with jersey insets. This is a perfect replacement for last fall's ponte dress which I wore to all sorts of events and eventually sold because it was too large for me. I can see me wearing it to work, to a holiday party sans belt or with a skinny sparkly one, even to a wedding.

This looks like the perfect little black dress and it looks fantastic on you!!
LOL thanks Donna!
I’m with her… you’re killin’ it!
Thanks Misty!
I do feel I am this weird size where I am not a 12, but not a 10 (now I have Britney Spears in my head… I’m not a girl…). Anyway, another 5 pounds and I think I’ll have to sell more of my closet to make $ for the next size down!
Thanks Harmony!
Another lovely look.
Allison, you look AMAZING. I know you said you just got yourself back to WW, but you really look like you have gone down another size.
You look AMAZING this dress is awesome!
LOL so true, so true…
Great look, fuss-free and so chic. How many black dresses do I need? . . . Just one more : >
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous! You’re killin’ it lately with your outfit posts…keep it up!

Thanks Alicia!
Thank you so much!
Great dress. It will definitely get a lot of use. It also shows of your waist! You are looking great 🙂
Looking good in cool black and leather, Allie!
Thanks Andrea! When I have worked from home I did miss getting dressed. I often went through the whole process in the morning (though less satin and more ponte knits!) just so I could “feel” like I was at the office. I totally feel where you are coming from!
SOOO CUTE!
I just started following your blog. It’s great! I work from home and seeing your pics every day makes me actually miss getting dressed every morning and going to an office.
