Dress: Banana Republic  (available in petite!)| Belt: Banana Republic | Shoes: Cole Haan Factory [similar]

HELLLLOOOOOOO, #Petitecrew! Did you miss us? Life is still crazy – Nora is still nesting and unpacking from her big move, and my last class project is due the same day as I’m putting on an event for work this week, but after two weeks of intense radio silence, I didn’t want to leave you all hanging without a new post.

Today I had a handful of meetings at work so I wanted to make sure I toed the more business side of the business casual line. I’m one of the younger people in my office, so when leading meetings, I like to make sure I look the part while still remaining true to my evolving style as a young professional. The combination of cobalt and black feels modern but sleek which fit the bill perfectly. The addition of the peplum added shape to the classic sheath dress and the addition of the belt pulled in the patent leather on my shoes (it’s on the heel. Love that little bit of detail!)

If you go now, you can get this dress for 40% off! Whoever invented ‘Cyber Spring’ – thank you! My shopping cart is ready to go and finally get some new things for spring and summer.
