Cubicle Chic- what-to-wear-to-work-summer-rain

Dressing in rainy weather can be tricky, but during the summer it's particularly stressful. Sometimes it’s a cool rain and you might have to break out a sweater. Other days it’s hot, humid and you break out in a sweat. And sometimes you get caught in a soaking, flash thunderstorm that your weather app didn't warn you about… Ok, so that last one might just be a “me” problem. Anyway, this week’s Cubicle Chic focuses on how to dress for a rainy, summer day.If you've ever struggled with what to wear when it's hot and raining, check out the outfit ideas below. From cute umbrellas to dainy rain boots, you'll have no problem getting dressed on a rainy day.

What's In Store: Joyce Leslie

This weekend I went shopping with my cousin since she wanted to find an outfit for an 80s pool party, so we naturally went to Joyce Leslie. The affordable fashion retailer is a staple on the East Coast. Until this weekend, I hadn't stepped foot in one of the stores in years, but as an undergrad, I shopped at Joyce Leslie at least every other week when I wanted a cute $20 dress. Though quite a few of the clothes were adorable, I also saw some major misses.
Check out what I found at Joyce Leslie, plus quick tips on what to look for and avoid when shopping at a "cheap" clothing store.

Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details, check the original post here. Thrifty Threads 365: one dress, multiple waysThere's nothing I love more than wearing a single garment multiple ways. And that's exactly what I have with this printed dress. Well, it actually started out as a fishtail skirt {see the original post in 2010 when I had a tailor transform it from a skirt to a dress}. I immediately noticed the bold pattern when I saw it in a bin at the Goodwill Outlet. I wasn't feeling the skirt, but knew I could have a tailor convert it into a strapless dress. I've worn it as a dress and now I'm rocking it as a skirt with the addition of a t-shirt and belt {both thrifted!}.
