Langford Market Dress; J.Crew ClutchI’m a little shy when it comes to form fitting dresses — I feel uneasy just thinking of the phrase “skin tight” and all the images that conjures up.  But then came along this dress from Langford Market.  Langford Market Dress; J.Crew ClutchLong sleeves and a conservative hem make me feel more chic than clubby.  And the fit?  Sleek and slimming, rather than another “sl-” adjective that I’d rather not say.  I won’t be ditching my beloved a-line shapes anytime soon, but I can say that I’m getting over my form fitting fears one outfit at a time.Black Dress with Neon Clutch Langford Market Dress; J.Crew Clutch Langford Market Dress; J.Crew Clutch ShoeMint Lola Suede Heels

Forever 21; Joe Fresh; Old Navy This past Saturday, the BF and I went spent the afternoon in Brooklyn where we grabbed brunch, relaxed at a coffee shop and then indulged in a few sweet treats at a local bakery.  It feels like a world away, but Brooklyn is one of my favorite places to explore.Prima Donna; Forever 21; Joe Fresh

Of course, whenever we pay a visit, I feel the need to mix up the wardrobe from the usual girly glam.  I reached for my felt hat, plaid scarf and an oversized sweater for an effortless look.  Thick rimmed sunglasses and skinny jeans might not be my thing, but I can still rock an outfit worthy of Williamsburg.

Work Appropriate Outfits; Office Holiday Party Ideasone / two / three / four

There’s plenty to celebrate during the holiday season and with that, comes a plethora of occasions to play dress up.  Today, I’m pulling together a few outfits for the holiday office party.

five / six / seven / eight

As much as I’m hoping that my office party involves an open bar, I feel like it’s a fine line between a good time and an HR complaint.  After all, no one wants to become the subject of watercooler gossip the morning after the business bash.

For a balanced mix of work and play, pick a dress with an appropriate cut and length (I mean, that’s pretty much a given no matter what) and pair it with more playful accessories like a punchy necklace, pointed pumps and the perfect clutch.
