I only worked a half-day on Friday, though that still seemed too long. I wanted to be cute but comfortable, so I pulled out an old favorite. And, I still got to wear green!

I've had this fabulously Grecian green maxi dress from Banana Republic since last summer (purchased for a steal through eBay). I happily wore it a few times, but soon realized that the dress was going to need a few alterations in the straps and the length. I put it away for the fall, thinking that I'd take it to a tailor in the off-season. Not surprisingly, I didn't. This year's warmer months kept reminding me about this dress - a closet favorite that I had relegated to a distant memory as a result of my procrastination. Well, I finally took it to a tailor a few weeks ago, just in time to wear one more time before putting it away again.
I love this dress. The empire waist, the wrapped spaghetti straps, the vibrant green color, the scoop neck, and its pleated neckline make it such a unique piece that flatters my body well. I tend to wear this cropped jean jacket with the dress, but I've also layered a short-sleeved white scoop tee underneath the dress to wear it sans jacket if I want. The material is an ever-so-soft modal cotton that drapes nicely over my curves and feels like pajamas.

That evening we went out with good friends of ours, who will soon be leaving our humble little land of Chambana. I felt this outfit was just a wee too daytime, so I changed it up for a rocker Friday night look - black jacket, an embellished tee, skinny jeans (woot!) and smokin' wedges. (Sorry, no outfit pics for this one, though!)
