Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been featuring flats very often on SWR lately. I don’t have a
good explanation for that, aside from the fact that I’ve simply been drawn to wearing heels lately.
However, I knew I was going to have a really busy day at work today and I would have been
completely insane to wear anything but flats. I hope that this look can give you some ideas for appropriate
work wear. That being said, the hem of the skirt should really be at the knee for most offices, but let’s
try to look past that, shall we?

Just some clarification on my dress featured in the last post. The designer isn’t L.A.M.B. It was purchased
at a boutique called “Lamb”. The designer is actually For Love & Lemons!

Yesterday Kai and I had the honor of attending our good friends’ wedding. Doug is Kai’s best friend
and he married the most extraordinary girl, Megan. It was so fun to be at a wedding that we weren’t
working! Kai was the best man, and standing at the front of the ceremony next to the groom instead
of at the back with a camera was a nice change. This was the first time I’ve seen Kai in a suit since our
wedding, and he looked so handsome. I was so proud to be with him!

I wore a dress that I bought from a Grand Rapids boutique, Lamb, back in November. I’ve been so
excited to wear this dress ever since I purchased it, and now I just need to find other opportunities to
wear it again and again!

 

The earrings and necklace were both Valentine’s gifts from my dad. The earrings are from this
year, and the necklace is from several years ago. He gives the best gifts! I have always looked forward to
Valentine’s, even when I was single, because of my dad.

 

This clutch is actually what my Sonia Kashuk make up brushes came in. Fancy, huh?

Outfit Breakdown:
Dress: Lamb / Shoes: Sam Edelman via Piperlime (still available on sale!) / Jewelry: Gifts

We are about to leave our hotel room for brunch, and then we’ll be off to airport. Grand Rapids,
here we come!

Last week, I saw a belt in the J.Crew store and loved everything but the price tag. So instead of spending
the $52, I made myself one instead. This project can be done for little to no money, depending on what
materials you already have. I spent $20 on the belt and embroidery thread.

Here’s the J.Crew version vs. the SWR version.

I kept the color scheme similar, but mixed it up just a little. Online, they have a blue version if you would
like some more color inspiration!

Now for the how to:

What you need.

Begin by gluing the first color vertically on the back of the belt.

Next, wrap the thread around the belt over the part that you just glued down. When the band of color is
as long as you would like it, glue the end down and cut off the excess. Do the same with the next color.

Continue down the length of the belt. I ordered the colors, and the length of the bands randomly.

Continue down the belt until you reach the stopping point you would like, glue it off, and you’re finished!

Happy Crafting!
