We all have hundreds of transitions we go through during the week. The Monday to Sunday transition (hands down my least favorite), the after work transition (where we all try to unwind from whatever occurred throughout the day), the waking up transition (Allison’s favorite… NOT), I could go on and on. Yet, of ALL the weekday transitions, my absolute favorite, hands down, is the transition into weekend mode! The moment you realize that you are no longer bound by the monotony of the 9-5, and are free to explore and do whatever your heart desires! This past weekend’s transition involved a drive up to Hollywood, immediately after work, to celebrate the hubby’s birthday! I really did not want to waste ANY time changing into something suitable for immediate roof-top cocktails upon our arrival to the hotel, so I felt that my “transition” outfit needed to have just the right amount of balance between “I’m ready to relax” and “I’m ready to kick up my heels and dance!” I opted for the long relaxed feel of the maxi dress, but threw in the extra accessories and layering pieces to make it slightly edgier!
