About a month ago I got a job in construction, which is wildly different from anything I’ve ever done before. But it pays nice, I really enjoy my job, and those are both very important things. But seeing as how I have to wear jeans to work everyday I’ve found that on my days off I don’t want to wear pants at all. Or shoes. So I’ve gone full fledged to wearing skirts, dresses, and sandals. Much more feminine than my usual off day outfits. But I like it!

I don’t have very many casual dresses, three to be exact, so I’ve been browsing the web looking for some nice new ones to get after a few weeks. These are some of my favorites from ASOS:

• ASOS Skater Dress in Pretty Wallpaper Print
• ASOS Midi Summer Dress with Rope Print
• ASOS Sleeveless Skater Dress with Belt in Spot Print
• ASOS Body Conscious Dress in Rocco Print
• ASOS Pinafore Dress with Buckles
• Warehouse Scallop Dress
• ASOS Midi Dress with Full Skirt
• Warehouse One Shoulder Ruffle Dress
• River Island Zig Zag Textured Skater Dress

Apparently skater dress is a new thing… or else it’s a term I’ve never seen thrown around before. But THAT is my ideal daydress style. Today I’ve been wearing the Firenze Tank Dress by Pyramid Collection and it is so very comfortable. I need to get a picture but it’s dark outside and the living room is chaos so that will have to wait for another day.

Also, just read this lovely post by Mara of Tickled Pink about dyeing clothes… so tempting!

I love pairing this gradient scarf with my flower clips as often as possible. I think the yellow pops really nicely. And since early spring tends to get a little nippy, I like wearing this scarf since I can use it as a headwrap as well. No midseason sniffles for me!
