Wrapping Up August 2023

Pop of Purple

I had a meeting today with a client, and I chose this Black Halo dress for the occasion. It's chic and professional but still has some sizzling elements, like the side slit and open neckline. 

I love yellow with purple, so I paired the dress with my new purple Bettina Vermillon pumps. The purple really complements the yellow and draws the eye.

Work From Home Chic

This week marks my official start to working from home. We decided not to renew the office lease, since everyone works remotely now from all over the country, so I no longer have a physical office to go to outside of the house. Where will I wear all my dresses?

Lemon Squeeze

I actually have this dress in a darker version, but I love the silhouette and the fun yellow and purple floral print. The color/print is actually called "Lemon Squeeze."

Dress: Black Halo Audrey Mini Dress (no longer available)

This dress also gave me an excuse to wear a new pair of Sophia Webster pumps. These pumps don't exactly match, but the pastel colors complement the floral print of the dress, so it works!

Like a Sunset

Today's dress reminds me of a summer sunset. It's exciting to think warm weather is on the way.

Shoes: Sophia Webster Mariposa Ankle Strap Sandals

These heels are mostly sold out, but Nordstrom is selling a super cute gold glitter version.

Forgotten Dress

I originally bought this dress back in 2019, but I guess I never wore it on the blog. I saw a similar dress on the Netflix fashion now, Next in Fashion, which started me searching for a photo to show Chapin. Suffice it to say, I came up emptyhanded. So, here is the Parker dress that's been sitting in my closet for four years:

Dress: Parker Braelyn Dress (no longer available)

Unfortunately, the Parker brand has taken a very long fashion pause. The website has been dormant since COVID started almost three years ago, with no new items produced. According to the website, there is a new e-commerce site coming soon, but we shall see if that really happens. I do hope it returns, though. The brand is fun and flirty and always had great pieces.
