What I wore:
Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in black!)
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull
Why I wore it:
I actually wore this a couple months ago, but just never got around to posting. I work from home one day a week, and the other two days I'm in the office. This means I can easily group together the two office outfits for a blog post, makes blogging simple.When I wore this dress, it had been an absolutely crazy week, with the boys and I unwell, so I only made it into the office once. Because of that, this solitary office outfit had sat around for a while until another week where I only went into the office once so I'd have something to post with it.
I picked this dress to wear as I love the colour and print, and blue is always a mood booster for me when having a crazy week. I really like the simplicity of this dress for the office. Blue and green is a colour combination I've been warming to lately, and this necklace looks great with a blue dress.
Last worn: cream jersey blazer, blue Aztec print dress, gold mouse flats, Louis Vuitton neverfull tote.
Other ways to wear: cream jersey blazer and jeans, blue Aztec print dress and purple bag, gold mouse flats and wrap dress, Louis Vuitton neverfull tote at the beach.
Perfect for pregnancy: jersey blazer in second trimester, Aztec dress in third trimester, mouse flats and maternity pencil skirt, neverfull tote in third trimester.
Where to Buy the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Neverfull Second Hand:
What I wore:
Necklace: gifted statement silver plate necklace
Dress: French Connection blue Paisley print dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull
Why I wore it:
Another crazy week calling for another simple dress outfit. This blue one is one of the oldies in my wardrobe, bought near the start of my career with my current company. I've been there a long time! I love how it continues to look just as good as it did when I first bought it, and wonderful addition to my wardrobe. It would be nice to have taken more photos of it before the blog, as I'm sure it's over 30 wears. It's only the 6 years I've been blogging that I've been taking regular daily outfit pics though, so I don't have any photos of this before the blog.Just like the dress above, a blue printed dress boosts my mood, and that was what was needed for this busy day. While I kept the bag the same, I went with silver flats instead of gold, and a different blazer. I may even like this outfit a little more than the first one.
Last worn: grey jersey blazer, paisley print dress, silver ballet flats, Louis Vuitton neverfull (above).
Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and fit and flare dress, paisley print dress and ankle boots, silver ballet flats and maxi dress, Louis Vuitton neverfull and purple jeans.
Perfect for pregnancy: sheath dress in second trimester, silver flats and maternity wrap dress, Neverfull at 38 weeks pregnant.

A printed dress is such a fantastic foundation to build on when it comes to office dressing and these two outfits are a perfect illustration of that! Great styling Mica!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you styled the bag. It looks so cute!

I really love the simplicity of it, you're right! :)
DeleteYou look lovely in both and both are great for in the office wear. I do like the grey printed dress and blazer just a tad bit more. It pairs so well with your ballet flats and your LV bag.
ReplyDeleteMaureen | www.littlemisscasual.com
Thanks! They are a great combo together! :)
DeleteI dont like to wear blazers i worked on a bank and i always wear it and for me forget it never more!!!

Oh yes, they would be essential bank wear! I'm lucky I don't have a uniform so have more creativity with what I wear :)

I wish I could afford a LV bag! LOL! Love both dresses on you, Mica! I don't think I have any printed dresses but you sure do make them look really good.
ReplyDeleteShireen⎜Reflection of Sanity
They are so worth saving up for in my opinion! :)
DeleteThese are both super looks for you, love the pumps and bag you've added, they brighten up the look even more. Hope you're well Hun. xx Enjoy your week. x Jacqui
ReplyDeletewww.mummabstylish.com
Wow you are so right! Wearing a printed dress is an easy yet put together outfit. These dresses look classy and chic on you.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are your printed dresses?! Love! And I definitely agree about planning outfits the night before, although it was a bigger deal when I had to get up at 5:50 AM and was too delirious to do anything but get dressed!
ReplyDeleteOh that is an early start! It does make mornings easier laying the outfit out the night before! :)
DeleteIf I had to choose, I like the second one the most! That's a great palette to complement the bag. I've never tried a Neverfull as I never have much to fill it with, but I always love the look!
ReplyDeleteRaindrops of Sapphire
It looks good without a lot in it too! You do have so many cute smaller bags you can use instead though :)
DeleteLOVE everything. that bag is a must have

The bag is a timeless classic and a really useful one to own too! I love the dress you are wearing. The colours suit you perfectly x
ReplyDeleteI loved the first dress and the bag and the second is amazing as well, a classic! I liked the first necklace as well, and I am always happy to see you in flats - so much comfort! Around 4 years ago, and it seems to me like a looong time, I only wore high heels to any activity - I still hear some jokes from when I went to Stonehenge in heels and everybody looked at me! But then a friend wore flats and I gave it a go - and now I am such a fan of them and wear them most of the time! You look so beautiful! Hope you have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteDenisesPlanet.com
I used to wear heels a lot before a knee injury - since then I've embraced flats a lot more and I so rarely wear heels! They aren't the best choice for running around with the boys anyway, and there are so many cute flats around! :)
DeleteBoth these blue dresses look so fab on you, Mica:) I agree about printed dresses being a great go-to piece. And I have the monogram Neverfull and Speedy. I don't have a lot of designer pieces but these two I really do love. You can fit so many things in them!
ReplyDeleteYou really can fit a lot into them! I'm glad to have them, they are great bags! :)
DeleteOhhh I love these dress and blazer combinations! I'm always looking for cute ideas to wear to the office and I love these looks!

I don't often wear blazers with dresses and I am not sure why. I just typically reach for a cardigan. But I love how easy these outfits are and how professional they look!
ReplyDeleteThese are both jersey (knit) blazers, so just as comfortable as a cardigan! :)
DeleteLove the bag, I have the big size!

Both fantastic looks, Mica! I love how the blazers really make the slightly more casual dresses so great for a work outfit. You know that dresses are my go-to when I'm not feeling inspired. You're rocking this look!
ReplyDeleteThey are the best-go to! :) And yes, blazers dress everything up nicely!
DeleteI've been adding more dresses to my wardrobe; they really do make getting dressed easy. I love both of your dresses and of course that gorgeous bag! Your bag collection is truly amazing!

Weird how even when you don't plan what you wore, you still look gorgeous! Dresses paired with blazers and a classic and elegant bag would surely make a big impact. :)

hehe thanks - it's printed dresses (and yes awesome bags!) that make it easy!
DeleteThe Damier print on the Neverfull is such a classic. I think I prefer it to the monogram, it just seems to be more versatile! I think I would agree with you on the second outfit, while both are great something about the second one seems more interesting. I think it's the light colours and mixed prints with the dress and bag.
ReplyDeleteEileen | 5feetofstyle.com
While I won't rule out getting a monogram bag again, I am more of a damier person at the moment!
DeleteIt really helps to plan outfits the night before. You're not struggling in the mornings to find something. Mica, I love both outfits but my favorite is the second one! I think I saw it on instagram and I was like WOW it looks SO GOOD!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.averysweetblog.com/
haha thank you Kim! I need to wear these pieces together again I think! :)
DeleteI cannot pick a favourite ! I really like both looks. Its incredible how when we feel good wearing a garment, we make things happen!
