Dress Challenge: Trendy Zebra & A Classic

Update: My arms and wrists are mending thanks to regular hot vinyasa yoga. I'm grateful.

Wore dresses, pattered pants, a skirt, and white jeans all of last week. No pics I'm afraid. Was resting the wrists and arms

Here are two outfits from this week.

1. The light blue and black Zebra dress is new and a trendy muu-muu. It's 100% cotton and a super score. I love it, and it has fun pockets. Dressed up with watermelon accents to work with a client. Dressed down with sneaks, sunnies and crossbody for errands and Sam walking later in the day. It's urban CITY walking - not a muddy and sandy dog park

2. The navy Classic shirtdress is one of may favourite dresses of all time. I feel like a million bucks wearing it. Dressed up with white dainty pointy toe slingbacks and citron satchel for work. Dressed down with sneaks, sunnies and crossbody for errands and Sam walking later in the day. That's my life!

Pearls, watermelon specs, and lace camisole with every outfit.

Dresses with MOVEMENT and comfortable shoes are extremely important for my lifestyle. Hence the active poses, since I move fast, carry things, and need room to stride. I also need to keep up with Super Sam.

New Wardrobe Pet: Attended the annual Seattle Dress for Success High Tea where there was a fun bag auction. All proceeds go the the wonderful non-profit, of course. I won the bid on one of the bags and brought home a brand new fuchsia Kate Spade nylon crossbody that is perfect for casual wear. Wore it right away. Go Team Wear.

I LOVE MY DRESSES. Can I live in Summer weather for most of the year please?

Suntiger, your comments make me smile. Sam will always steal the show, as he so rightly should.

So glad you are feeling better and able to post. Love your diagonal poses. Zebra is my favorite animal print (maybe along with snake). Blue zebra is smashing and the shirtdress is just made for you. Yay team crossbody! Sam is a natural in front of the camera. I really love the studio/loft design of your new home too!

Oh, Jaime. You are so gracious. Thank you. Zebra and snake are my faves too! Thanks for leading Team Crossbody in your special way, and Sam is blushing.

I love both of your new dresses. Your bright colored accessories, bags, specs, and shoes add interest and fun to your outfits and I'm taking notes. I just added a lavender top to my black/gray/white/blue/red wardrobe.

Stretch-Cotton Sweater Top

I have to admit that I thought my new top was blue when I bought it. It was only when I got home I discovered it was lavender.

So glad to hear that your wrist are getting better. Pain is not fun.

taylor

These dresses are fabulous on you ! Fun and fabulous wardrobe pets !
And LOOK at your hair ! Adorable...love the longer length, the slight waves , and the color is spot on! Such a wonderful and fresh look on you.
Sam looks extra perky !

bonnie, nice lavender top! Lovely with your blue eyes, and thank you.

Taylor, thanks for the hair cheerleading, dress & pet love, and for being so nice. I'm enjoying the hair change

Sal

You look terrific and I am pleased the wrist and arm pain is reducing!! The new bag is fun and practical and I always love the navy shirtdress - so classic in the best of ways - Grace Kelly!

Sam and you look lovely! I LOVE your citron and fuchsia bags. *starry eyes*

Sisi

I am glad to know that yoga is working. I like the navy shirtdress very much, especially paired with the fuchsia bag and the lovely furry accessory! A climate with a 6 months Summer is one of my dreams.

Jenni NZ

Wow Angie gorgeous new bag and your hair is looking so pretty!

rachylou

Haha, Angie! I love the backwards dip pose, esp with Sam Your hair is looking cool. I like it a lot with the dresses. The zebra is particularly fun. And those cute white slings!!

Mainelady

It makes me happy to hear that you are finding some relief and healing from the wrist and arm pain. Keep taking good care of you!
Your dresses are both versatile and your colorful accessories are cheerful and fun (just what summer should be)! I really like how you show us dressed up and dressed down versions. Your action shots with Sam make me smile. I can just imagine the two of you prancing down the street. I can also imagine many people turning their heads in your direction and wearing big smiles! Happiness is meant to be shared. Thank you for sharing yours with us.

kkards

both dresses look FAB and love the way you work both with pops of bright color....Sam, of course, is the ultimate accessory makes each each dress shine

Scarlet

That fuchsia color is so stunning against the deep blue!!! So happy for you that you can enjoy dress weather and that your arms and wrists are doing better. I was wondering maybe all the work of moving was a bit much for them. Happy summer to you!

lyn67

Love both dresses, and the goofy pose in nr 11 you are so adorable with little Sam!:-)

ChristelJ

I'm completely with you on dresses, flats and crossbodies for a walking lifestyle, and Sam looks like he approves too! These outfits exude both joy and class in that lovely Angie way. And you look like a million bucks in that navy dress, no wonder it's one of your favorites.

RobinF

I'll take summer all the time! It finally seems to have started here - fingers crossed.

I love that zebra dress so much! The shape and style is right up my alley but I know Zara doesn't do petites and wonder how hemming would affect the style. I sure love it on you though!

Bijou

Great news on the arm - but keep resting it! Both dresses are beautiful on you, the zebra dress is so much fun. I find some great items in Zara and don't think of it as fast fashion because I keep and wear the items for years in many cases, not just one season.

#7 is my favourite photo, Sam is snuggled into you and absolutely adores you (and vice versa too).

Such a fun and happy group of pictures ! I would not necessarily have picked that zebra dress for you, but I love it - and the colours are great. That navy shirtdress is probably one of the classiest and most feminine pieces ever - hope you never tire of it. And of course you won the bag auction Nice choice. And lastly, I hope your tendonitis calms down - it's really awful, I know.

DeAnna

I love the zebra dress on you, its so cute and of course SAM is stunning.

Dana

Of course you look beautiful as always! What fun poses, too! I'm drooling over your matching bag and phone case!!!!

Laura

Oh good, I'm glad those dainty wrists are healing. Yay for yoga!

I've been waiting to see that Zara zebra dress and it does not disappoint! I saw it in store and wondered if that big bottom ruffle (flounce? tier?) would work on a real person without overwhelming them and IT DOES. That periwinkle blue color is brilliant on you. And congratulations on winning a happy new wardrobe pet!

Runcarla

Easy breezy silhouette and cool colour/pattern for the win. #1 is lots of trendy fun. #2 is classic style at its best.

Christina F.

I am glad you're healing! Wrist pain is quite debilitating.

You look smashing, too. You AND Sam.

Karie

You must be having our summer weather, it’s been cool and rainy here. Sam steals the show in every pic he’s in! You look gorgeous in your dresses.

Elizabeth P

YLF, Angie! Great dresses.

I must say I've really enjoyed seeing all the photos of your outfits that have come out of this challenge. It makes a difference to see them "in action". I hope you consider sharing more...

Murph11

Oh, what wonderful dresses (and, I clearly need to up my dog-walking game)! Was the weather warm enough for you to go sans-topper both days? I'm currently topper-obsessed!
