Happy monday, everyone! I'm so excited for this week because it's a three-day work week and we have Thanksgiving coming up! I love the holidays - what a fun time of year. Brett and I had a great weekend - headed out to Chicago on Saturday with our friends, Jeremy and Kait, for their Magnificent Mile Lights Parade. I cannot believe Christmas is right around the corner. Michigan has held off on snow so far this year - which is perfection. We've had a gorgeous autumn. I like snow to hit after Thanksgiving.
I'm loving this dress from Shop Ruche. If you're a long time reader of my blog, you all know I loveeee my sleeved dresses. They are just so easy to wear - no styling required! Especially when most of the time I have to wear a cardigan over dresses. This little bird print is so cute. I got so many compliments at work on it. A lot of you have asked me if I'm allowed to dress cute at work and if so, what do I wear - well this is it! I get to dress however I want at work - no dress code. So most of the time I'm in dresses, tights, boots, heels - and I go for jeans on Fridays. I love it.
I'll try to sneak out during some lunch breaks and grab some shots of more "work"outfits. These first two weeks have been very busy and a lot of times I haven't been able to sneak out because of meetings or orientation lunches, which has been so much fun. It's so different to work for a place where people want to connect and hang out during lunch. I love it! I'm putting myself on a calendar routine for the blog now that I'm so busy. It's really going to help with consistency in posts! I have a fun giveaway coming this week + a mini tour of my new office and workplace!

I adore your shoes. They look diving with the black tights. I've been looking for a similar pair of chunky, strappy and tan shoes myself.
P.S. I'm jealous you get snow. Sadly, the south usually stays freezing free.

I love this look- your hair looks so much darker in these pics (looks great)!
Isn't working in a creative environment so nice? I work at an ad agency and I love not having a dress code!
Those shoes are too cute! The background looks great too, very dramatic.

These photos are so dramatic! I love this look on you!
Oh, you look so pretty with your hair like this! And the dress is stunning, too <3
This is such a cute outfit - I love how you mixed the browns in with the greys and black and that dress is just so cute! Love it. Such great pictures too!
These pictures are particularly good. I love the background, your clothes (your shoes, especially), the light. Awesome pics!
I felt a little weird looking at these pictures...
I've always pictured you living in an enchanted forest with Brett, bunnies, deer, and mushrooms.
Now it's like you came out of your fairytale world into the cruel one.
... I'm sorry, I sound freakish.
Promise, I'm not.

Eeeeep I love those heels so much Teika. I'm so tempted to ask for them for christmas, but I don't want to copy you ;)
You are looking gorgeous- as USUAL. I seriously love that dress. I'm such a sleeve/floral girl myself!
You make me miss my long hair when you braid it. It's so cute!
You look lovely, cute dress!
Ok, I love this outfit. It's so perfect, and a perfect example of how bloggers are a wonderful way of promoting fashion because I definitely just bought this dress. Ha. You are definitely one of my most inspirational bloggers that I follow!
Hi Tieka!
This outfit is so beautiful, and I love your hair, lady.
Great choice on the basic navy tights, this dress is too adorable to pair with bold-statement tights.
And in its own way, basic opaque tights are making their own bold statement!
Loves,
Sam
Lovely outfit! I love the long sleeve a lot!
Glad to hear you had fun in Chicago and I cannot wait to see the mini tour of your workplace.
Take care

cute outfit! simple, but very pretty. and the photo locale is stunning, i love the vertical black reflections- they mirror the white trimming on your dress.

Hi Tieka! This outfit is great! I also love how you've let your hair go dark. It looks gorgeous these days.
Cute outfit as always! It's snowing over here so I'm jealous of the skirt wearing gals on the blogosphere, I'm going to have to look through some of your archives to figure out how to stay cute for winter!

This is so funny - I saw this dress while I was perusing Shop Ruche and thought of you! (Actually, my first thought was - I WANT IT! but my very next thought was how much you would love it. Haha)
These photos are too pretty. You are looking so gorgeous, Tieka! I love that you can dress cute for work - it must be so fun picking out your outfits every day! I can't wait to have a grown up job where I can dress cute :)

Yesss I love long sleeved dresses as well! If I haven't written this before, I just adore your belt. I know it's pretty hard to believe, but I am STILL on the lookout for a great waist-belt! (P.s.- I love the settings for the photos. Very pretty).
