{Shift Into Summer}

I try my very best to prepare my outfits a couple days in advance but sometimes (read: too often) that is not the case. Luckily, I wake up early enough that I can stand in front of my closet and ponder the eternally burning question, “What should I wear?”

For those mornings when inspiration hasn’t quite hit me…and my morning chai hasn’t either, I throw on a dress. Quick yet feminine and polished. Add a cardigan, a {bracelet stack} and cute ballet flats/heels. You are ready to take on the day!

Summer is right around the corner and so is DC’s infamous humidity. Cotton is a girl’s best friend for a DC summer, the season of shift dresses.

LOFT | Mahi Gold | Lilly

If you work in a business casual office, shift dresses are perfect for your 9-5 when paired with a blazer or cardigan. Although I will be honest, I would save these colorful frocks for Casual Friday and the weekend. I could wear the LOFT shift to work during recess but Mahi Gold and Lilly are better suited for your Saturday stroll and Sunday brunch. For the weekend, I’d swap sandals/espadrilles for ballet flats and ditch the cardigan, weather permitting, of course!
