Me Likely

Today was my second day back in the office since we closed for COVID, and things are slowly starting to feel normal again. Yes, there are Lysol wipes, hand sanitizer, gloves and masks everywhere I look, but perhaps that's going to become the NEW normal for corporate America.

Although I miss some aspects of working from home, one thing I'm embracing: wearing makeup, doing my hair and showcasing my unworn dresses. I have a back log I've been dying to wear!

Dress: Likely Gabriella Long Puff-Sleeve Satin Floral Dress

Today's dress from the Likely brand is super flattering. I love long-sleeve dresses, which are actually perfect for the days when it's sunny and hot outside and cold inside (Georgia air conditioning). You can find the dress at Saks and on the Likely website.

Shoes: Christian Louboutin Pink Peep-Toe Pumps

The heels are high and the color is a perfect fit with the dress.

I'm slowly learning the best places for my daily #OOTD photo. Chapin took this one for me after work. Feel free to leave feedback in the comments!

Shades

When it comes to fashion, not all shades of the same color can be flattering with your skin tone. Yellow is a hard color for me. I'm Italian, so I have strong yellow undertones that can make wearing warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) difficult.

I fell in love with this feminine Rebecca Taylor dress, which is dominantly yellow, and just had to have it. Fortunately, it's in a buttery, pastel yellow that doesn't make me look too washed out or sickly.

Outfit Details

Dress: Rebecca Taylor Lemon Rose Summer Dress

Find the dress at RueLaLa.com, though there are only select sizes available. Definitely size down if you buy this dress. I had to buy a size four, even though a zero or two would have been preferable, since those other sizes were sold out. (The dress is big on me.) Rebecca Taylor sizing has changed over the last few years. It's great for my self-esteem, but can make online buying a bit more challenging.

It's really the perfect summer dress!
