Weekend + Werk it

I’m really into wearing dresses in the winter.  Mostly because there’s a really easy formula that can be mix and matched so many different ways.

dress + jacket + scarf + tights + boots

I mean, really, it’s that easy.  This formula came in really handy yesterday when David and I had a little miscommunication about if we were going to Sunday school or not.  I had 10 minutes {I turned it into 15} to get ready.

{It dawned on me that I don’t feature many work outfits on here.  Mostly because I’m on this two year-long kick of hating slacks.  So that makes getting dressed for work a little difficult.}

But on to the outfit.

Sorry that’s the only scarf I ever wear.  My sisters stole two of my good ones and left me with none.

This weekend was full of doing boring things like cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry and making laundry detergent.  I did get to do a little designing for a spring wedding and a collage for our two seniors.  On Saturday, I was texting Kaitlyn…

1.  She used Pinterest to put together jeans, sneakers and a white tshirt.
2.  Our conversation is all over the place because she’s always been ADD but I think I’ve become more that way.
3.  Andre is rubbing off on her.

Scott and Sarah had us over for dinner but forgot a picture.  Sarah, how did we do that?  Even though I don’t really enjoy spending the weekends doing laundry or cleaning but sometimes that’s the only chance we have to get things crossed off the list.  And we did manage to grab drinks + appetizers Friday night after the game.  It was a good mixture of fun + productive.

What did you do this weekend?

  • I love that blue dress on you and the detail on the scarf is so pretty!! A weekend that’s fun is productive is pretty much perfection! Hope you have a great Monday! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston

    • That scarf is seriously one I pull out allllll the time because it goes with every type of outfit. I guess every girl’s got to have some go-to’s, right?

  • I really love this outfit!! I’m with you–I hate slacks. I wore a pair to church last week and realized the last time I’d put them on was in 2010!!!! Granted, I haven’t had a job that required slacks attire in a long time, but still!

    • Whatttt? I’m so jealous. I hate them too but it’s pretty much a win when I can manage only once a week. I feel like I’ve pulled off a victory when I can manage something else 4 days a week.

  • I think I’m the opposite of you. I love pants and it’s hard for me to wear dresses. They feel so uncomfortable to me. Love your formula though. So true. Visiting from Shoe and Tell Fashion Link Up

    • Really? Isn’t that funny how we’re all so different. If I could wear jeans and boots every day, I would but that’s not really allowed :(

  • We actually have very similar outfits today! Great minds think alike! 😉 Just a different color dress. I obviously use the same formula for dresses in the winter. I love a great leather jacket paired with a dress

    • Yes we do!! It’s such an easy formula. Yours looks great :)

  • Amy Ann

    I love dresses for the same reason, great outfit without much thought. Your blue paired with the leather is great!

    • Thanks, Amy Ann. It really is so easy and I have about a million different combinations so I still feel like I’m wearing a variety :)

  • This is the perfect combination! I love the pretty color of your dress and that scarf is so fun!

    • Thanks, Megan! I found this dress forever ago and that’s what I still love about it – the great color!

  • I’m with you on hating slacks-I would rather wear a dress any day! That blue dress is so pretty on you. :)

    • You’re the dress queen! I can’t even pretend to be on your level but I do enjoy them :)

  • That scarf is fabulous!!!! I love pants….dresses/skirts in the winter are soooo cold!

    • Haha, well in good ol’ NC, 30* is cold. But when I have socks and boots on, I’m actually warmer than when I have pants and flats on.

  • The outfit is great, but Kaitlyn’s comment about needing Pinterest for jeans, sneakers, and a white long sleeved tshirt is pretty much the best thing ever!

    • She’s on another level. Another level of crazy!

  • Productive weekends are the best, it’s nice to cross things off of the to-do list. Cute scarf!

    • Yes it is! A little relaxation + a little productivity = perfection!

  • I hate slacks too & that’s pretty much all I wear to work.

    • Right?? I think that’s why I hate them. I used to not mind them so much but then it just gets old. Like there’s only so many ways you can make slacks fun.

  • I’m pretty sure I’ve used pinterest to find a white tee and jeans, as well LOL! love your dress and bag. I’ve been wearing jeans to work for so long, if I put on dress pants (or a dress) my coworkers start asking if I’ve got an interview some where! -Dorrie @ Bear Den Plantation

    • Ahhh, I’m so jealous. I wouldn’t even mind wearing jeans with a nice top and nice shoes but slacks just… ugh.

  • Loving the blue paired with the leather, such a great combo. I love the sheer tights as well with the dress. That texting conversation is so adorable!

    • How funny is she with the text conversation? I was seriously sitting on my couch laughing out loud!

  • Cute outfit! I love that dress color. So bright.

    • Thanks, Leanna. That’s my favorite thing about it. And I’m ready for spring!

  • That dress looks great on you! Great choice!

    • Thanks, Katie. It’s so comfy and fun at the same time.

  • Thank you for linking up with Shoe and Tell on Style Nudge! Great black booties!

    • Thanks, girl. They’ve been my favorites and I’ve worn them so much since I found them back in October.

  • love that scarf! such a chic outfit!

    • Thanks Kelsey. That scarf makes an appearance a couple times a week on average… but I just can’t help it because it works with everything!!

  • That might be the only scarf you own, but it is super cute on you!

    • Haha, thanks! I own a few others but this one just always seems to be my go-to. Well, at least since my sisters stole my other two go-to options.
