Funny story about this dress: after seeing it online, I thought it was going to be a low cut, super sassy dress that I could wear on a girls’ night out. After this dress arrived, I realized, in fact, that this was actually a dress I could totally wear to work. It’s not low cut at all, and it doesn’t really scream “turn up.” This never, ever happens to me. Normally I order dresses I think will be great for work, but definitely aren’t ok!
Anyway, this is a pretty versatile little number that can be dressed down or dressed up pretty easily. This would also be super cute with a denim jacket and a pair of flats for the weekend, or with a blazer for the office. As much as I wanted the sassy going out dress, at this point in my life I need things that are going to be super versatile.
![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!
My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]](https://www.aliciatenise.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
This has such a “Duchess Kate” vibe to it. Love it…especially that clutch! Spring will be here before we know it.
So pretty! It has me wanting spring!
Definitely obsessing over this dress and needing warmer weather!

This dress looks amazing on you! I have the same problem (re: finding cute dresses for work that actually aren’t ok) LOL.
