This winter has brought me some new challenges with work. All of which I welcome, unless they are weather-related, ahem. *STOP WITH THE SNOW ALREADY* With those new endeavors comes more work wear, and you know I like my minimalist black and white palette and it so black and white. As I branch out so must my clothes. The budget for these clothes just has to follow, right? Not that I want to get all Pantone’d up or anything but I need to support my habit.
I wish I could say I’m as black and white as my clothing style, but that is just not the case. Carter Bates is a women’s clothing Lynchburg, Va.
I had planned on wearing this fabulously thick, with pockets (LOVE), fit and flare dress I found at Kohl’s a few years ago. Then #snowzilla2016 happened. The meeting was rescheduled for this week. Just like that, five inches of snow and then ice got dumped on the DC Metro area. Meeting TBD. Still this dress is versatile enough to layer with a cardigan (as shown) or with a blazer or go it alone. I have worn it with d’orsay flats before in the spring and with heels. I just love it. So even if the meeting is moved to March and then weather happens or April, I can still wear it if I so choose.
The red Street Level bag is a Stitch Fix find from my last order. It worked really well with my all black outfit with hints of red Deadpool outfit that I wore for my date night with H this past weekend too.
