So first the good news! I started my new job on Monday…woo hoo! After 5 months of freedom, er…unemployment, I’m finally back in the corporate game. So please send me good vibes and wish me luck! The bad news, I’m starting a new job during the height of allergy season. My allergies are exceptionally bad this season for some reason (hehe that rhymed) and I’ve been taking Claritin D on a daily basis. I also take NyQuil at nights because if I don’t, not only is my sleep disrupted but so is my husband’s and that just isn’t fair, is it?
I love spring for what it is, a renewing of life where the trees come to life, and at every turn, all you see are pretty flowers. The weather gets warmer and you can shed all the extra layers. However, the allergies sometimes ruins the beauty of it all for me. I get the itchy eyes, sneezing, sniffling and wheezing on top of it all, and I feel sleepy all the time! It really is an energy killer! So now you see why I need some extra prayers for my new job. My mind needs to be sharp and focused at all times and that might be a little tough. It’s also the first time in 5 years where I’ve worked a full 5 days in the office. At my last job, I worked from home two days a week and it was sweet! It’s only Wednesday and I feel like I’m going to die! I’m exhausted! It’s definitely an adjustment so I’m going to have to make life adjustments in order to make this work like go to bed earlier and work out on a regular basis.
Today, I’m bringing you another dress from my new favorite boutique Thistle & Finn. This navy blue dress is also a wrap design as in my last post, and it is just gorgeous. I would consider it a faux wrap because it is only evident in the neckline. The attached belt wraps around the dress giving it a nice feminine feel along with the flutter sleeves. The floral pattern is fun and vibrant and I love the midi length. I can totally see myself wearing it to a wedding, an evening dinner, or even to work with flats. You can shop the dress here.
