Black and White Zigs

Boy is the summer flying by, already August 8th... where did July go? The summer heat calls for fun summer dresses, especially for the office.  One of my NJ finds, this black/white/gray zig zag design was  my look for today.  During one of the rainy days on vacation I found the closest Marshalls - this place was HUGE and packed with finds!  As soon as I saw this dress hanging on the rack I knew it would be a great find for the office.  It's boat neck design is great for a business casual day.  My favorite detail  is the back, the full zipper and bow are perfect details!







With a busy design such as this, you don't want to compete with jewelry.  I kept it simple with my thin silver necklace and I decided to layer with my initial necklace.  I also kept my shoes basic with black sandals that have just the right amount of style.  Don't make the mistake of "basic" sandals with those Old Navy rubber flip flops that come in every color of the rainbow - style no no!

Tip: Take a second to try on one of the summer dresses you see on the rack - it'll be a great addition to your wardrobe.  I'd start with Marshalls or TJ Maxx, always have different and cute designs at great prices! 

I can't wait for the days to wear this...

As much as I liked the outfit I picked out today, I wish I could have been wearing this cute spring dress! I know, its a little too early, but hopefully soon! This was one of my recent finds at Marshalls, $16.99! It was such a good deal, it would have been a sin to leave it there! If you can, fit in a stop to Marshalls over the weekend - they are PACKED with spring stuff! This dress is very versatile, perfect for work or a night out. While its pretty plain, it'll work well with all types of jewelry. Think of it as a blank canvas so now you can splash on some color - sweater, bangles, necklaces, headband - did I mention shoes!  This dress is perfect for bold sandals, something with a tall wedge and strappy would work great.  Don't be afraid to try something funky!

Speaking of jewelry, I might be making a stop at my secret spot in Providence tomorrow - stay tuned for my finds! Maybe I'll reveal the location!

Again, I swear I am not a spokesperson for Marshalls!
