Summertime Blues

Summertime Blues by reluctantlyadultish featuring a tank dress

Tank dress / Jeffrey Campbell mary jane shoes / Out of Print blue purse / H M chain necklace, $11 / ModCloth Dog Gleam Me Up Scottie Earrings

A cute dress on its own is a warm weather classic. This one is especially great because it makes me think of these decorative plates my mom used to collect when I was a kid. Coordinated wedge heels and a tote make this easy for summertime office wear.

Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th by reluctantlyadultish featuring how to wear boots

Pure Energy see through dress / Shoe Cult black lace-up boots / H M black shopping bag, $39 / Forever 21 silver jewelry

I'm not THAT superstitious, but it's still fun to play with the spooky atmosphere of a Friday the 13th. For this one, I celebrate with a sort of goth look, wearing all black and celebrating the scariest animal of all, the black cat. Depending on your local weather, a pair of black tights (maybe with a texture) might be in order.

Holiday Party

Party dress / Plus size womens blazer / Black pantyhose / Ankle boots / H M black handbag, $19 / H&m earrings, $1.57 / H M chunky necklace, $11 / York Wallcoverings Peek-A-Boo Graphic Trellis Wallpaper

If you're invited to any events this holiday season, you might be worried about what to wear. You can't go wrong with a cute dress and chunky heels, especially if there's some sparkle in there somewhere. The white blazer is fresh, and helps go from day to evening if you need to get to a party straight from work. The red shoes throw in a pop of festive color.

Time to Present

Time to Present by reluctantlyadultish featuring plus size jackets

Long dress / H M plus size jacket, $13 / Look From London black tight / Mossimo Supply Co backpack / Pink earrings / ModCloth Menswear Inspired Dune for the Day Wedge

It's time for my final presentation in one of my classes. Augh! Where did the semester go?

I love to wear a cute basic dress with tights and a jacket whenever I'm doing something professional. I think it looks polished while still being cute and fashionable. The collar on this dress is a nice-looking feature, and my trusty buffalo-plaid backpack manages to look nice while still being functional. It's been a great piece all semester, big enough to get my laptop and a few books inside without being clunky or unwieldy.

Wordsmith

I'm obsessed with this tee. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to come in my size! I hope ModCloth (or the brand) decides to make this one more inclusive, because I would love to have it. Working in a library, it's right up my alley.

In the dreamworld of this shirt fitting me, I'd pair it with some nice high-waist skinny jeans and cute wedge heels. The book ring completes this by keeping with the literary theme of the top.
