Tribal Maxi

Dress - F21 (similar) / Necklace - Amrita Singh / Sandals - Target (similar)

I wore this dress a lot last summer (see here), and then basically it existed.  For some reason, I've really been neglecting my dress collection this summer.  Sorry dresses!  I swear I still love you, I've just been, you know, hanging out with a lot of shorts and skirts lately.  Then, we finally got some summer weather over the weekend, and a dress seemed like the only reasonable option.  Some people around here seem to be anti-heat, but I'm down with a couple days here in the 90's. Bring it on, Chicago!

Two Ways to Wear JCrew Factory Mini

Shirt and Skirt - JCrew Factory / Belt - Old Navy / Watch - Michael Kors (similar) / Sandals - Target (similar)

Are you sick of this skirt yet?  Because I'm not!  It is definitely still on heavy rotation for me.  Today I'm partnering with Jacquelyn from justjacq to show two ways to wear it.  I've already paired this skirt with chambray and a simple tee, but this time I decided to for a little pattern mixing.  If you're mixing patterns and still want to look put together, try pairing patterns in the same color family, like navy and white.

Be sure to hop over to justjacq to see Jacquelyn's full look.  I love that she added in a little pop of color with her adorable red shoes!

A Hint of Tribal

Chambray - Loft / Skirt - JCrew Factory / Necklace (similar) and Belt - Old Navy / Watch - Kate Spade / Sandals - Target (old, similar)

I'm not really one for boho style.  Don't get me wrong, I love it on other people but it just doesn't feel very natural on me.  That being said, I love this skirt.  It's mixing that boho/tribal style with colors and a shape that feels a little more classic.  Here I paired it with my standard chambray and classic brown accessories, but I could also see it with a tee or dressed up with heels.

Someone asked me if I've been dressing down & hanging out in lots of sweats now that I'm unemployed - the answer is surprisingly no!  Getting dressed every day makes me feel like less of a bum and like I'm actually accomplishing things.  Which weirdly I am, I've been so busy every day between blog stuff, freelancing, searching for jobs, and exercising.  I've been joking that I'm not sure how I ever had time for a job ;)  Kidding, kidding, a full-time job still sounds nice!
