One of the great things about moving to a new city and/or state is exploring new places. I’ve been doing some hard core research on Instagram to find cute new spots to either eat, do, or see (p.s. Instagram is one of the best ways to do research in any town. Look for geo tags and tagged establishments). When I spotted Work/Shop I knew I had to come check it out. How gorgeous is that flower mural on the wall? As the name would imply, you can both shop cute pieces from local vendors and signup or host a workshop. The space is absolutely adorable. If you’re ever visiting, I would highly recommend stopping by to pick up a bouquet of flowers or to just snap an Instagram.
In fashion related news, this Banana Republic dress is my second ever midi dress and I could not be more obsessed! It had great reviews online, but I didn’t 100% believe it until I tried it on in-store. Without a doubt, it’s one of the most flattering pieces I’ve ever put on my body. When something other than a mini dress makes me look tall, you know it’s a keeper. The fit is amazing and it has some weight to it, so it’s perfect for this winter to spring transition. For reference, I’m wearing an xxs petite. With its simple lines and neutral color, I have a feeling this dress will be on repeat all spring #ButCanYouBlameMe.

I’m always so scared to try midi length skirts and dresses since I am so short, out of fear they will just look ill-proportioned on me. This looks great though, definitely flattering! Looks great on you!

Thank you, Emily! I felt the same way for years. With the right fit and length, I think us shorties can find midi styles that definitely work :)
These photos are all so stunning. I love a good shirt dress!

Thank you so much, Dana!
This dress really does look great on you. I’ve tried a midi skirt before and it made me look about 4 feet tall! haha but this dress definitely works. Maybe because it’s a slim cut?
Either way, I love it!
