Even though it feels like is already on its way out, I have to share this insanely beautiful dress that I recently wore to my sister-in-law’s bridal shower.

For Love and Lemons Botanic Midi Dress

You know how I told you I’ve been on this crazy neutral kick? Well, it’s carried into fall — especially when it comes to pretty dresses like this one. The pictures do not do it justice — the floral print is embroidered on to the most delicate mesh and even some of the petals are cut out to make the dress look multi-dimensional. Yes, it’s on the pricey side of dresses, but can you imagine all of the special occasions you could where it at? Bridal showers, baby showers, birthday dinners, engagement photos, weddings — you name it! It’s so incredibly gorgeous that I almost wish I had saved it for my sister’s wedding this weekend. I don’t really think it’s even possible to top this one, but I sure can try!

A Tropical Print Dress for Fall (Seriously!) http://skirttherulesblog.com/2017/10/26/fall-tropical-dress/ http://skirttherulesblog.com/2017/10/26/fall-tropical-dress/#comments Thu, 26 Oct 2017 09:00:43 +0000 http://skirttherulesblog.com/?p=15465 Fall Outfit Inspiration: Long Sleeve Floral Dress

Tropical florals for fall? Groundbreaking. But, seriously — you don’t find the words “tropical” and “fall” in the same sartorial sentence very often, let alone on a piece of clothing. So when I saw this burgundy floral dress at LOFT, I knew I had to have it.

How to Wear a Dress with Booties

I’m a big believer that you can never have too many floral prints in your wardrobe (although my husband might disagree), so I’m always looking for a different ways to wear it for every season. When I first saw this dress, I was attracted to the billowy sleeves and the burgundy color combo. It looked so perfectly fall that I didn’t even notice that the print was made out of tropical flowers. I love it paired with ankle booties, but when it gets cooler I think it would look amazing with some over-the-knee boots. P.S. If you love the print as much as I do, it’s also available in a blouse,  sleeveless top, romper and scarf!

How to Deal with Stress at Work http://skirttherulesblog.com/2017/10/03/how-to-deal-with-stress-at-work/ http://skirttherulesblog.com/2017/10/03/how-to-deal-with-stress-at-work/#comments Tue, 03 Oct 2017 09:00:19 +0000 http://skirttherulesblog.com/?p=15409 Office Outfit inspiration / Black Short Sleeve Dress

You might have noticed that’s it been a little quiet around here these days. I’m trying to create more thoughtful content on the blog, but also my day job has been taking up a lot of my focus and energy. Many of you know that I work for an airline. Well we’ve just come out of four different hurricanes all back-to-back-to-back. During this time, it’s all hands on deck and everyone works around the clock through late nights and weekends, to get the operation back up a running and take care of everyone who has been devastated by the storms. Stressed has been my baseline for the past month, so I figured I’d tackle it here on the blog and share my tips on how to not let it get the best of you.

Office Style: Black Short Sleeve Dress

1. Confide in your work BFF.
If you think about it – with the exception of a significant other – you probably spend more time with your co-workers than anyone else. And no one knows you like a work bestie. Because they’re familiar with what you’re dealing with on a daily basis, they’re better equipped to empathize with your stressors and might even be able to give you advice to address the issues head on.

2. Go for a walk.
As simple as it seems, physically removing yourself from the center of your stress can serve as a mini-reset for the mind. When I’m feeling overwhelmed or in a rut, I pause the task at hand and go for a walk. Usually I’ll try and go outside for some fresh air or eat lunch with a co-worker away from our desks. When I’m in a time crunch, I’ll still take five minutes and take a lap around the hallway (usually to the vending machine, but that’s a whole different coping mechanism). It’s enough time for my mind to wander somewhere else and get the blood flowing.

What to Wear to Work

3. Recognize a colleague. 
At my company, we have a online social platform where we can send each other “kudos” of sorts – recognizing colleagues for going above and beyond. Even if your company is a little more analogue, it’s just as easy to leave a sticky note or a thank you card for someone who has helped you out through the tough times. Recognizing someone else is a great reminder that we’re all in this together. If you’re stressed, your co-worker is probably feeling the same. We’re all working towards the same goals, so why not share a little thanks and positivity? Plus, uplifting each other is just plain good for the soul.

4. Remember why you’re there.
Sometimes, it’s easy to get caught up in the negative aspects about work – especially during crunch time. Ugh, I have to stay late another night. Ugh, I have to work on the weekend. Ugh, all of these projects are driving me certifiably insane! But instead of giving up or going on a rant, why not think about why you’re there in the first place? At some point, you wanted this job – and if you’re lucky enough, this is your dream job. Here’s the thing thought – dream jobs aren’t always a dream. There will be times where you have crazy hours and overwhelming projects, but underneath it all there should be a simple, single purpose – the reason why you wanted this job in the first place. Remind yourself of that and maybe you’ll get through your day with a little more clarity. I know I do!
