Happy Monday! It's an even happier Monday for me because I am vacationing in Orlando! You can catch snippets of my trip on Snapchat (carylee07) but I'm sure I will be recapping for you when I'm back next week. For now, I have collected some of my favorite bloggers to fill in for me while I am getting tan! First up is Darci! What's not to love about her? She lives in San Antonio - my hometown! We've already said that if (when) we meet in real life, we will scream sing karaoke with each other! And hello, her shoes. Hopefully you can see some pieces of me (see what I did there?) in her style and understand why I have a girl crush on her. Enjoy! Also - don't forget to link up! It is Hello Monday after all!

Hey y'all I'm Darci, and I am so happy to be guest posting here for Carylee!
I truly envy her ability to master the art of the flat lay!
All I seem to have mastered is the ability to shop for and mass hoard shoes.
Well...we all have our talents.

I love wearing dresses to work because they can be one of the easiest things to wear.
However since they can be a "one note" piece, in that by itself,
it is the same thing over and over again, I like to try and get creative to change it up a bit.
Of course you can vary the accessories, which is great because you can always go far with that,
but next time think about the actual dress itself and how it can be done differently.
One way I have worn a dress is with a shirt tied over it to appear as a skirt
and another way is to wear a buttoned blouse underneath a sleeveless dress.
I have worn coats/jackets over dresses before too but since they would come off when I actually get to work, that somewhat defeats the purpose of the change. So layering a dress with a vest is a nice option. However, to go one step further I decided to close the vest instead of leaving it draped open to add a nice dimensioned look overall. Blue and pink are one of my favorite go-to color combinations, but this draped pastel pink vest is the perfect touch to give this look that "spring" feel.
Come by my blog tomorrow as I share another way to wear this utility dress,
outside of the workplace.
Because we all need that dress that can take us from the office to our plans for the weekend,
am I right?
With Love,
