modern frills.



H&M classic blazer | (c/o) Love ottoman fitted dress | Zara leather messenger bag | F21 rope necklace | Zara suede basic heels

A couple days ago I wore this outfit to work. It always delights me to have items envelope my closet that are classic and practical. I am pretty enamored with this lady-like dress that was sent to me by Love. It is by far one of my most treasured dresses. The color is so spring ready and the silhouette is timeless, both pluses in my book. The frill detail at the waist is the cherry on top. And these heels? You will definitely be seeing them more often. They pretty much flawlessly pair with everything I own to wear to the office. I am elated that winter has tapered off and girls are able to bring their open-toed shoes out from hibernation. Warmer weather and vivid colors sure seem to have a profound effect on brightening up the corporate world.
