After spending last month replenishing my makeup and body care stashes, I'm back to my monthly outfit for July. I spent the first week or so seeing what my coworkers were wearing, and I realized I would be wearing far less golf clothes than I did in my old job. Even though my outfits won't be casual in that sense, it appears I will be wearing a lot of lightweight tank top dresses, which makes sense because even though I will be in the office much of the day, I will be outside visiting sites in 90-95 degree heat. I'm soooo glad I won't be wearing formal work attire... like ever. I decided to add to my current dress wardrobe and also found a few clearance items to spice up existing outfits.
Here's what I bought from Target:
Two Xhilaration Easy Waist Dresses in black and black polka
Scarves: Multicolor stripe, Fuschia floral, and Polka dot - got all 3 of these on clearance for $5.49
Not pictured: Mossimo Lakitia Sandals in cognac - these were on sale for $13.99
Funny story about the sandals: I saw them at Target and was convinced I already owned them but knew I had never purchased them. I bought them and figured that I could bring them back if I really did have them. I got home and didn't see them, and finally realized that I recognized them from seeing them on Patty and Dannielle's blogs! I guess Bliss really does help me find new products and styles ;) Now I saw them in gold and really want them, too!!

| On our California trip, Mike and his family was impressed that I didn't check a bag and only brought one backpack filled with clothes. I definitely channeled my inner "study abroad weekend trips" from college when I would bring one outfits and a couple of scarves, so I could carry everything with me at all times. In California, the scarves dressed up outfits and even functioned as a belt [which I obviously forgot]. |

Cute dresses! I can't wait til I have my real job back where I can wear all my cute things, and not a uniform!
I love these dresses! They are really cute. :)
I never tire of Polka Dots!
Such cute dresses.
Give me all the scarves - love them all year round!
I was so excited when I saw all the colors and patterns in the first picture! I might have said this before, but usually I don't gravitate towards polka dots, but I love that dress-- the color makes it so classic looking! Love all your pictures!
I really like the dresses! I've been trying on every pair of clearance sandals I find at Target and they never seem *quite* comfy enough, so I've given up. I've invested enough in sandals that give me blisters and now it's like I'm too jaded to risk it.
Such a cute dress and you got some miles on those shoes which make them totally worth it!
Those scarves are so cute!
Everything is really cute, dresses and scarves. You go with your backpack travel.
Love the polka dots! Can't wait to see more Charleston adventures :)
