First Mate

This navy shirt dress has been my go-to work wear piece for warmer days since I got it nearly a year ago, and yet this is the first time it's been on the blog! The scallops called my name, and the conservative cut makes it easy to just throw on and go.

I heard that yesterday was national dog day, though to be fair, I don't think it has much significance as there are at least half a dozen other national days that involve our furry best friends, and apparently November is senior pet awareness month, which Chloe would certainly qualify for, as she's 18. Though I didn't include Chloe in this shoot for any reason other than that she'd just gotten back from the groomer, and I imagine like most women, she'd prefer to be photographed on a good hair day.

  7. It's funny how often our go-to outfits don't actually make the blog - somehow, although my approac has changed a lot, I still always feel compelled to make a bit of effort for the blog and, while I wish I did that in every day of my life, most days I'm all about clothes that you can just throw on and go. In fact, I should point out that most days, I do't look half as stylish as you do in this work oufit. I love the pop of red from your shoes. And I laughed out loud at your comment about Chloe wanting to be photographed on a good hair day, because it just seemed so true!

  8. That shirtdress looks perfect on any during the summer months. It looks lightweight too, which I'm a fan of. I can't believe Chloe is 18 years old! She's so cute!
