Today was our annual Team Building/Employee Appreciation Day. We got together at Truffles and Trifles for a morning of cooking together and then sat down to enjoy all of the lovely breakfast dishes that each team made.
And I may or may not have smuggled in some Amaretto to add to my coffee.
Attire was casual so I decided to wear a super cute dress that I'd never be able to wear to the office. You can't tell in the pictures but there are little orange accents in the flowers on top. I love the colors (although I'm not a Gators fan so blue and orange isn't a natural choice for me) and I adore the ruffles on the skirt. So twirly and fun! I'm including a couple pictures of some of the girls that I work with too - scroll down for those! (Aren't the aprons lovely?)
Today's outfit:
Dress: Kohl's
Yellow Peep-toe Wedges: Payless
Yellow Necklace: Wal-Mart

I love that dress! Did you get it recently? I need to go to Kohl's! Also love that team building idea! So great. Way to go company!
ReplyDeleteI got it a few month's ago but they still had some (clearance!!!) the last time I was in there. They're in the Junior's section. It's so comfy!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so cute! And you definitely walk the line of looking professional and still incredibly chic and fashionable. I'm amazed by that! My work environment is so casual I'm always the most dressed up person.

ReplyDeleteHi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog - what a great idea. Love the yellow - it adds a real touch of fun.
I was wondering if you'd like to share your team building story on my new website about team building ... you'd be my very first visitor story so you'd be doing me a huge favour! Just the same kind of words as you wrote on your blog would be great, and maybe the photo in the aprons. If you're interested, here's the link. Thanks, Alison.
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your feedback!
ReplyDeleteAlison - I went on the site and submitted a story. :) Great idea for a site, I hope my submission can help!
That dress is gorgeous, especially with those shoes. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your dress! I'm a sucker for ruffles these days, as well as, stripes. So cute1
ReplyDeleteMelissa - your story on my team building website is perfect. Just what I wanted! If any of your other blog visitors want to read it, here it is: The Team that Cooks Together, Grows Together. Thanks again.
