Well hey there rooftop photos! Long time no see!

In the third installation of my "Work on the Weekends" series let's all take a moment and realize how terrible it's been in DC that I was dripping sweat after 20min at 9 IN THE MORNING.  In that last picture you can definitely see that the heat was starting to get to me and I'm sorry that I couldn't be all stoic and mysterious.

But I digress, as the point of this post is to spend some time talking about a dress I absolutely love but have never featured on the blog before. I picked this black and white beauty up a couple of years ago from Ann Taylor and it is probably the most well fitting dress I own. The length is perfect, I love the way it hugs right at the smallest part of my waist under the bust, but still flows over my hips so I don't feel constricted.

Do you have any dresses that you just know you look great in? I tend to "save" this one more often than I should, I guess because I know I can't replace it >.<.

DC has been doing its damnedest to resist cooler temperatures, but finally they have come and with them all the sweater-y things I've been dying to wear.

This is one of those great pieces that looks like you put a lot of effort into your outfit but really, you just wanted to wear a sweatshirt. Win!

Can a pair of shoes be lucky? I'm not sure I'm the superstitious type but finding these Stuart Weitzman heels on super extra duper sale earlier this Summer was at the very least serendipitous.

I fell in love with them last year after seeing them on Atlantic Pacific (here or here), but I just couldn't justify the price for 5 inch heels that would be impossible to wear outside of work and/or special events that involved a lot of sitting.  But for a little less than $70 I'm ecstatic to keep these as shoes that make me happy to wear or just to look at in my closet, lol.
