Wearing Today - Saks Fifth Avenue + J.Crew

I had a big meeting this morning to culminate a project I've managed over the last six months and busted out the serious black dress from a Saks Fifth Avenue outlet store in Hawaii. Oh, the sweet mother of a deal I got on this dress - Originally around $200, I got it for a little more than $40 and it fits well and makes me feel put together. The dress has gathering at the neck and waist, simple puff sleeves and a pencil-like skirt that falls just past the knee. Decided to accent with pearls, because, well, that is what one does with a black dress. This is the first time I'm wearing these shoes since I bought them back in April.

I also darkened my hair last night in a "I hate dealing with growing out highlights, hey isn't summer pretty much over anyway, where's that bottle of dye" fit of change. I normally go to the salon to get this thing done, but it was one of those nights where I wasn't going to take looking at those roots for one. more. second. I feel like a serious chick with dark hair and it makes me even more excited for fall!
