Since I work in a pretty dressy environment, I find myself wearing a lot of dresses because it is simple and easy. But sometimes I want to wear dress pants, and if you are like me and struggle finding jeans let alone work pants, then I have the perfect pair for you! These dress pants from Banana Republic are beyond perfect and so comfortable. They are made with a stretch fabric that forms to your body and hugs in just the right places. I actually own them in multiple colors and patterns but the black is classy and easy to pair with anything. Even hot pink. Hallelujah.

Throw on some pumps and a classic clutch and bam. Work wear that works!

Spending time here for the next few days working and clearing the head. Will be back to full speed next week.  xoxo Jessica

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Just in case you were wondering, mine was pretty great! A little recap, shall we?

1. I babysat for a friend Friday night. This little fella thought he could get away from me. Ha!
2. Fishtail Saturday! I spent the day at the beach and I am really starting to master the fishtail. I am pretty proud of myself.
3. Beach day essentials. I am loving my new fringe top. $19.99 at Charlotte Russe. #fabfind
4. I am in LOVE. New Ivanka Trump purse from TJ Maxx and for only $54.00. Another #fabfind. This purse makes me smile every time I look at it.
5. New phone case! It is simply adorable. "If you like it, then you should monogram it."
6. Manicure of the week. I seriously paint my nails every four to five days. This week's color is OPI Pink-ing of you.

Happy Tuesday all! And thank goodness for a short week. I am beyond ready for 5pm tomorrow! I just wanted to give you a little recap of my weekend. It was a great weekend, one filled with so much fun and friends and I am beginning to get in the hang of living back home and taking advantage of my weekends! 

1. Friday night I came home to find my Birchbox. If you aren't subscribed to Birchbox, you must try it out! It's only $10.00 a month and it is a sample filled box of goodies that arrives once a month on your doorstep. It definitely made a great start to my weekend! Check it out here. 

2. Chocolate chip pancakes are the best way to begin Saturday morning! My town is right on the east coast of Florida and we have the cutest little breakfast and brunch place in downtown. They serve the best breakfast! 

3. Just a morning stroll after breakfast with my good friend Jessica. It is amazing how beautiful of a town we live in and how blessed we are to be right on the water! 

4. Saturday night, I met a friend out at a local bar and was given a red rose by him! It was such a sweet gesture! 

5. There is no better day to shop than on Sunday. I always enjoy a good day of shopping especially with my momma. We went to the mall and I got the best deal on this dress! It is perfect for a New Year's Eve party...now just to find something to do for said evening! Again, I am in love with gold and cream so the combo on this dress is a STEAL for me! It is very light in material and almost has a ballerina look about it! 

6. After shopping, my mom and I stopped for lunch. I got a chicken salad stuffed tomato. Delicious! And I can't find a dressing similar to the one that is served with it but it is a orange sesame ginger dressing and it is so good. I love the combination of fruits and veggies in this salad! 

Looking forward to the end of this short work week and the beginning of Thanksgiving and family time as well as Black Friday! Do you do Black Friday? Around my house, it is a HUGE tradition. This year I am on the hunt for a good deal on a dining room table, more gold flats and a few small Christmas presents for friends!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
