As you've probably already noticed, I don't wear dresses very often. I'm more comfortable and feel like I look better in pants (especially jeans). But I do put on a dress every once in a while, and this was one of those times. I was working at home that day (in addition to my jewelry business, I also work as an editor), but I took a break during to zip over to Georgetown to drop some jewelry off at Sherman Pickey. And that evening I had an appointment with the owner of a new shop in Arlington, La Maison, who was interested in carrying my work. So I had a reason to wear something besides my work-at-home uniform (see Friday's outfit). Dress: from Periwinkle in National Harbor, MD. Tights: Hue. Shoes: Clarks. Ring: by Jamie Joseph, bought at Essenza in Seattle. Pendant: by me.
Friday
As I've mentioned, I work at home as an editor as well as a jewelry designer. Friday was one of many days when I leave the house only to take my son to school in the morning and pick him up from a friend's house later. Needless to say, on days like that I dress for comfort and don't worry too much about style. My uniform is either my comfy Lucky Brand Jeans or a pair of old, saggy, super-soft gray Loft skinny jeans; a tee shirt or sweater; and either Converse or Uggs. But I still try to wear accessories and slap on a coat of mascara and lipgloss. I just feel better if I don't look like a complete slob, even if I'm just working at home alone. Jeans: Lucky Brand. Tee shirt: Target. Shoes: Converse. Ring: by Midwest Alchemy on Etsy. Bracelet: by Rebel Estate, bought at La Maison in Arlington (also available on Etsy). Bobby pin: By Woodland Belle on Etsy. Pendant: by me.
In the morning I had an appointment with a bride and her sister in-law to discuss a custom wedding order. Then I went to La Maison in Arlington to drop off more jewelry since a lot had sold in only one day! Then on to errands, and then back home to hang out with my husband, dog, and son before it was time for the guys to start watching basketball and for me to start working on my jewelry and my blog. Wrap: from Periwinkle in National Harbor, MD. Tank: Target. Jeans: Gap. Sunglasses: Ray-Ban. Shoes: Steve Madden. Ring: by Jamie Joseph, bought at Twist in Seattle. Bracelets: by Rebel Estate, bought at La Maison in Arligton (also available on Etsy). Necklace: by me.
