Grunge for Work

This is a nod to grunge with a professional twist. Like I've said before, anything looks professional with a great black shift.

Black Shift with Buffalo Check and Glitter Boots

Another naked leg post from the pre-wedding archives. This H&M black shift has been a serious wardrobe workhorse! I feel like I can put ANYTHING with it and it still feels professional. Stay tuned for more looks incorporating tights...

Black Surplice Dress with Bright Plastic Necklace

This free dress has turned out to be quite useful! As has this crazy necklace that I almost didn't buy. These colors could have easily looked very summery, but the suede shoes and long sleeves place it firmly into the fall.

Black Shift with Snakeskin Gladiators and Ethnic Necklace

Last time I wore this dress, I went with a clean, modern look.  This time, I used it as a base for a more eclectic, bohemian vibe. This is an old Forever 21 necklace from my mom (as a present! for once I didn't just steal it from her!), and these snakeskin sandals are among my most comfortable.

All Wrapped Up: Black Wrap Dress with Coral and Turquoise

I won this LBD way back in March, from Tanja's giveaway on her blog Every Day In A Dress.  I took pictures shortly after I received it, and then promptly lost that SD card. Oops!

Thanks, Tanja! It's extremely comfortable, flattering, and wildly versatile. I could throw this bad boy on with flip flops to brunch, or I could even dress it up to wear to a wedding. Here, I summer-ized it with some beachy stones in bright colors.
