Mint and Coral

     One of my all time favorite dresses is one I picked up about a year ago from Anthropologie. The color, pattern and exposed back with a bow accent was just too cute to resist. They didnt have my size in the store but they did ship the right size straight to my house for FREE. Anthropologie clearly knows the way to my heart (via amazing dresses and top-notch service). It was a day where the big boss at work was retiring and everyone was asked to wear a hawaiian shirt or floral print to wish him a warm "aloha". (He's from Hawaii, hence the floral connection) This was the closest thing I had in my closet to a Hawaiian themed outfit and so I paired it with a necklace- also from Anthro-, wood heels, a white blazer, yellow flower hair clip and a painted wood bangle. This is as tropical/professional as I can get.

Accessorizing Like A Classy Old Lady...

 Please excuse the messy flyaways.

They wanted to be in the picture too.

     I LOVE this necklace. Not only because it was uber affordable (Thank you Forever 21) it is also a bit of magic. Once you put this on, you look INSTANTLY put-together. Of course I never stop there. I had to throw on FIVE bracelets, pearl/rhinestone earrings and another necklace. Cuz that's how I roll! I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to become one of those decked out old ladies who wears everything they have at once just because they can. How else are you supposed to announce your presence?

     Oh and by the way, I wore this to work where I quickly learned that ME + white blazer + spaghetti = frantic use of a tide pen. White clothes should come with bibs.
