Long day, short post:
Madewell two-tone dress worn with mantis brooch at neckline and Report Marks booties in sand. Wore blue with tan for a presentation today showing off trends from the January catalog.
Off to eat and catch Zs before a friend's birthday party tonight!

Rae - this is such a great look. Simple, elegant, refined and polished!! Love the booties with the dress and you've used that broach to excellent effect!! Are you wearing your broaches more? Love the snakes skin satchel everything. You have really nailed that professional, edgy and powerful look!! Kudos!!

I really like the dress with booties which read as nude with your skin.
It's a great dress.
I just don't think the tone of the bag goes quite with the outfit.

Love the booties! They read as a nude on you, and are especially gorgeous with that stunning dress!
Hope the presentation went well!

Hope your presentation went well, Rae. Those Reports were among your best bootie purchases ever. You have definitely got a low CPW on those.

I don't know which I envy most -- that wonderful blue dress, or the fact that you're standing outdoors without a coat!
Seriously, love this style of dress on you -- classic, professional, but still girly.

Very cute look Rae! The nude booties causes the dress to stand out in a superb way!

Great dress, boots and love the pose. Tell your neighbor to ease up on watering the lawn though. Or I will send our hungry horses down to eat it.

A short sleeve dress in Jan.? I'm shivering just thinking of it! I love the blue and and tan combo. Cute booties!
I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
