One Dress, Two Ways: A Maurice's Giveaway

Recently I attended Reward Style's "School Night," where some of their stylish representatives taught us Chicago bloggers some new tips and tricks in the blogging world. The night ended with a goodie bag from sponsor Maurice's, which included some amazing necklaces and this easy-to-wear dress. 

So easy to wear, in fact, that blogger buddy Lauren of the blog Lake Shore Lady and I decided to team up and show you just how easy-to-wear this dress really is. Despite our height difference (she is 5'1-1/2" and I'm 5'9") this dress looks great on both of us. 

And if you need more proof, see how Lauren styled this dress on her blog today here! And just to make your Tuesday a little brighter, we have a giveaway of $50 in Maurice's Gift cards for you! Enter over on Lauren's blog now! Good Luck!

Striped Dress

This random warm weather really throws me for a loop when getting dressed in the morning. How hot will it be? Will it drop by night time? Who knows! 

I began digging out old summer clothes to accommodate these types of days and came across this dress from Joe Fresh last year. To make it seem different than other times I had worn it, I added this vintage dragonfly scarf that I picked up at the Randolph Street Market! Another great and comfy old purchase was these tiger loafers from Zara last year.

White Jeans & Stripes

Still riding high on my recent white jean success. I finally have a pair that looks and fits great. It wasn't till later in the day that I realized I was wearing head-to-toe Zara.  All from various seasons too.I guess that just goes to show how great so many of their pieces are. on a sad note these sunnies are in a few pieces. I smashed them into the car roof while on top of my head and the lense popped off. Hopefully some super glue will bring them back to life!

Blue Tweed With Silver Oxfords

I was almost certain that I shouldn't buy this tweed jacket a few months back at Target, but as it turns out I was wrong. I wear it all the time. Even one of my students told me it was her favorite. 

Since this is the first time these sunglasses have been on the blog, let me tell you a little story about them. I had their tan-framed sister for almost a year when they snapped in half right at the bridge of the nose. They had been sitting in a plastic ziplock baggie designated for broken Nordstrom accessories for months now. Since I had a solid baggie full built up of bits and pieces, I finally made it to Nordstrom Michigan Ave and cashed in my broken-bits bag for over $50. Point of the story is, if you have something from Nordstrom, even as cheap as my $12 sunglasses, and they break, Nordstrom has such great customer service that they will look up your purchase on your Nordstrom card and refund you your money!  And this is why they get my continued business and why I bought these as replacement glasses!
