Dress: Marissa Webb (top and skirt version here and here on sale!); Shoes: Christian Dior; Bag: Proenza Schouler; Sunglasses: Celine; Lips: Stila "Beso"
Most days, my morning meetings start around 8:30 or 9, which makes my morning hustle and commute that much more interesting to pull off (read: with traffic, it generally takes 2.5 hours to get to work). Yikes. This tends to result in a few things.
1.) I'm getting pretty darn efficient at dressing in the dark lately. Good or bad? I'm not sure.
2. ) I rely heavily on a rotation of quirky work dresses that I can mix and match with different heels.
3.) Dry shampoo is a godsend. Day old curls are usually the best anyway, am I right?
4.) Lipstick can work wonders, even if you're still fighting yawns.
5. I'm trying to skip my normal caffeine routine and opting for a green juice of some sort. It's been difficult adjusting but I think I'll end up feeling more energized in the long run.
I really love this look!!! Esp the little peek of your back 🙂

I could totally do this crop top look. Very nice take on your part. Only showing the crop on the back of the dress.

Those shoes!! I love colorful pumps but especially love when someone diverts from the typical pink and blue we regularly see. Green metallic! I just realized I need a pair of green metallic pumps in my life.
Super cute dress- love the print!
What dry shampoo do you use as a brunette?
