I am BACK...and fever free...and dressed! So when I mentioned I was running a fever in this post, which is also the last time I blogged, it was because I had the flu. My fever got up to 101.8 Monday night and my husband dragged me to the walk-in clinic where I got tested and was promptly told I had the flu, type B. I had to walk out of Kroger with a mask on per the doctor and I.was.mortified. I am feeling soooo much better (thank goodness for Tamiflu) but still have a cough and stuffy nose.

 

 I wanted to do a review of this Cynthia Blocked Shift Dress that was sent from Gwynnie Bee since I am finally out of my pajamas and ready to leave the house for the first time in two days. I really love the floral and black solid mash up and it's no surprise I love the shape (see other shift dresses here and here) but it was just a little bit baggy all over. If this dress was a couple inches shorter I think it would have made a world of difference on me but overall I loved how fresh and modern it was.

Easy Workwear Shift Dress

 I apologize for not posting as often as normal this week, I have not been able to get my s**t together. Thank goodness for shift dresses like this adorable Taylor Dress that takes the thought out of "what the heck am I gonna wear today".



  Normally I shy away from any type of houndstooth print (it reminds me of Alabama football) but this print is more abstract and since the sleeves are a different pattern I decided to give it a go. I love the fit but I wanted to look like I had some sort of waistline so I added the yellow belt plus it gives it a pop of color. Win-Win

Eggplant Hue

 

My love for shift dresses continues (sigh) I seriously cannot get enough of them.

   

This dress is so retro inspired with the little built in black collar and of course, the shape. It's also perfect when you are running late to work and can slip it on and still look put together.

 

Any big plans for the weekend? My Friday night plans got cancelled so be sure to leave me a comment so I can live vicariously through you guys;)

Shift dresses are my all time favorite type of dress; they work perfect for my body shape and the fit is timeless and classic.  

This geometric shape navy and white dress is just perfect for Spring (wishful thinking) but for now colored tights and boots will have to work if I want to wear it before then.
