In the Trenches.

Since we’re still in the trenches of Summer (and I still haven’t found a way to lay by the pool as my full time job) I’m sticking to my work uniform of late – a summery dress plus one lightweight add on…  

I usually wear this dress on it’s own (last seen here for a Summer date night) but I covered it up a bit by layering it with this sleeveless trench (last seen here) and added a pair of sturdy wedges to ground the whole look.  There’s just something about a trench coat, in any form, that makes anything you wear feel more polished.  Even in the trenches of a hectic work week.
