All Good Things Must Come to an End

Happy Monday everyone!

Today is my first day back at work after being on vacation for a week.  I always struggle with  transitioning back into work  mode after  a great vacation .  I walk around the office pouting and procrastinate going through email from  the previous week.   I  sit at my desk and  daydream  about my vacation and begin plotting  my next getaway.

Getting  up this morning was a small feat because I wanted to  stay in bed so badly!   I knew if  called out  I would only be delaying the inevitable.  So I forced myself to ignore the urge to call out  and headed into the office.  I kept  my outfit simple  by pairing my  yellow pencil skirt with my newly acquired black & white striped top.  Ive always  liked the combo of yellow and black together.  I figured a pop of color would  help lift  my back to work blues.

How do you get back into “work mode” after a vacation?

TGIF!

This weekend, I’m heading home to New York City (Bronx born and raised!) to visit family and attend the BlogHer conference (I’m so excited about going!).  Whenever I go home I take the bus because  a) driving to NYC is a pain in the butt  b) New Yorkers drive INSANE (yep I said it!) and  c) there is no parking in my sister’s neighborhood.  Plus, I don’t like to drive at ALL.    If I had my way people would have the ability to beam everywhere like they do on “Star Trek”!

Whenever I travel in the summer, I either wear shorts or a maxi dress for comfort.  Since I’m  leaving right after work, I went for the maxi dress.  This  Old Navy maxi dress is colorful, lightweight and very comfy.  I got it a year ago for my family vacation to Las Vegas  and it quickly became my favorite dress.  I   paired it with my multicolored beaded necklace from the Avenue and wood cuff.  When I initially bought the necklace, I didnt have anything to wear with it, so it just sat in my drawer.  When I got the dress, I instantly thought of this necklace and the rest was history!

What do you like to wear when you travel? Have a wonderful weekend!
