I have a real treat for you today, friends. I have two outfits in one post. OK, I actually did that on Sunday, but yea, I’m doing it again. I like to call this series Happy Hour Style. Why? Because it’s Friday, the best day to go to a happy hour after work to kick off the weekend right!
Dress: LOFT | Shoes: Zara | Necklace: Swell Caroline | Bracelets: Forever 21 and Isshou No Yakusoku
This first outfit was the one I wore to last blogger event at J.Crew! It was the release of the Fall line (which I absolutely love) and some fellow bloggers and I met up at Gram & Dun for some drinks beforehand. I decided to stay with a classy neutral and black look. I got this dress a few years ago at LOFT before I even knew what colorblocking was. Who would have known that I was trendsetter back then? š Thanks for taking these pics, Chasing Davies!
Top: Urban Outfitters | Skirt: J.Crew Outlet | Cardigan: Gap | Belt: K Fashion House | Shoes: Sole Society, borrowed from friend | Purse: Asian iCandy | Necklace: Petitor | Bracelets: Oia Jules
For this next outfit that I wore to Snow & Company (an awesome happy hour location with iced slushy shots) I went with a more colorful look. And if you couldn’t tell, I’m kind of obsessed with gold jewelry. I used to be a silver metal freak but now all I ever buy is gold! I’m sure silver will come back in one of these days, right? Thanks to Nancy for taking these pictures and letting me borrow your awesome shoes! š

This is lovely. Both outfits are really cute. Need to get my hands on that chain link bracelet. Looks like that’s a trend now
That first dress is sooo pretty on you, Sandy! That happy hour with the slushy shots sounds awesome. I usually drink white wine (Riesling) š Have a great weekend!

I LOVE the Loft dress! I like both outfits don’t get me wrong but I’m a sucker for cream colors. š
My happy hour outfit is usually skinny jeans and a nice top with wedges. I’m a stay at home mom so I don’t have a lot of dresses or heels for that matter. I’m working on changing that though! I just bought my first pair of heels the other day, nude peep toes to go with a dress to wear to a wedding. I have a feeling I’ll be wearing them a lot.
i love this idea! and i love both outfits i – i coudn’t pick a favorite if i had to. i love the blue belt in the second outfit -and i just love that dress on you in the first one. your style is so pretty and lovely. and that j crew events sounds like a ton of fun

I love your style!! I LOVE those blue shoes š
I’m loving both of these cute Happy Hour looks Sandy. That Loft dress is adorable, and I love those shades of blue together in your second look. And I totally want to steal your friend’s shoes! š
I love both outfits – I used to work at Loft and remember that dress…now I regret not buying it! I love choosing outfits for happy hour, my go tos are blazers and pumps. I still feel “business” but the heels add a little something extra. š Have a good weekend!

Both of these outfits are great and I love that you kind of stuck to a color blocking theme with these. I haven’t done a pub crawl or cocktail hour in ages. This makes me want to.

I love both of these outfits! You did a great job incorporating all those different shades of blue in the second look. Have a great weekend!
oh la la, what fun with two posts in one! Might be partial to the first outfit though I love both. PS: have been dying for those sara heels since I first saw them on you. Of course since Monday they’re sold out in my big size 9. sad.
Sandy, that dress in the first set is fantastic.
Also, love the color mix in the second set! You have great taste my friend! so fun you got to meet Meg too!
Love both looks Sandy! You are a fashionista!

That Loft dress is adorable and fabulous!
Question: who does your photo shoots. My husband can’t take decent photos to save his life. Did you teach your Hubs or is he a natural? Or is it someone else?
I MUST KNOW!
The first outfit is my favorite, but both are fun. (:
Ooo…love both outfits! The neutral/black dress is so pretty and I love the color combo in the second outfit. Plus I really like the shoes!
