workwear wednesday: denim & stripes

When I showed up for work on Monday wearing a striped dress, denim jacket, and floral scarf--and found my cubicle mate wearing basically the same thing--I decided this must be the summer version of the fail safe work outfit.

It's fresh and easy and makes you dream about where you're [hypothetically] going to lay in the sun and relax once 1pm on summer Friday rolls around.
Plus, you can wear it on a small budget like mine [with a thrifted scarf and jacket, and $12.95 H&M striped dress, my look was less than $20 -- not including shoes ($75) and bag ($150)]...
...or a bigger one, like your boss' [Miu Miu shoes? Chanel purse and Carlos Falchi "gym bag"? A bit more than $20..]

Of course, just as I've gotten used to amazing spring/summer weather.. the temperatures have plummeted and rain has arrived. SIGH! Guess I'll have to wait awhile to try this combo out again.

That black and white striped dress is the thing I need most in my wardrobe. I didn't know it until just now, but I am pretty sure I can't live without it.
