Philosophy by Republic Clothing dress, Ross

     I usually avoid buying dresses with a ruffle on the bottom, because I think it can look a bit too little-girlish. However, on a breezy day, it was fun to wear something that fluttered in the wind.
     I bought this dress a while back, but this was its inaugural outing. My main reservation about buying this dress was that it is sheer. I'm wearing a very old, cheap jersey skirt on the bottom and a camisole on the top.
      I wore this dress to work, which made me reflect on how fortunate I am to have a rather casual dress code. I'm always striving to put together outfits that have a little polish yet are comfortable, appropriate, and practical for both the temperature and classroom activities. This is probably on the outer edge of what I'd consider acceptable for work.

    I just returned from a very quick trip to Utah, to see my sis graduate. It was pleasantly cool, with a low in the 40s. I reveled in wearing my blazer, cardigan and scarf -- all at once! There's also nothing cozier than crawling under a blanket or two on a chilly night.
