I’ve been sitting on this high-low pleat dress from BB Dakota for a few weeks now and was super thrilled to finally have a chance to wear it out.
In other news, I'm officially back from my two day sojourn in New Orleans where I was attending the annual American Historical Association conference, seeing a bit of the amazing city, interviewing for a few jobs, and catching up with historian friends from around the US, Canada, and UK. For those who follow me on Twitter and Instagram you will know that I had a mild disaster-induced panic attack when my suitcase did not make it to New Orleans and I had job interviews the next morning. After waiting several hours after the bags were supposed to be delivered to the hotel for them to appear my amazing hotel roomies and I charged out after dinner and bought me all new clothes for my interviews. And then my bag showed up and so I got to spend most of the next day running around like a crazy person from interview to interview, returning purchases in between and going on a series of coffee and lunch/dinner/wine dates with old friends. So the whole was basically a whirlwind and I arrived home after a 13 hour series of flights ready to collapse. But it was an amazing, amazing trip and reminded me how much I miss all my historian friends and emergency shopping supports.

That dress is lovely! So glad that you got your luggage, but too bad you had to return everything you bought the next day....did you keep anything???
It sounds like you had an absolutely crazy trip - thank goodness your bag finally made it! Hope the interviews went well :)
On a fashion-related note, this dress is just fabulous. The deep blue shade really suits you!

I haven't been to NOLA in forever. Jealous! Love the necklace!
The dress is STUNNING on you! And wow, what a whirlwind trip you had! Glad your bag finally showed up. One time I took someone else's luggage home from the airport by mistake, oops. Luckily I had my phone # on my luggage and the lady called to tell me she had mine!
Sounds like your flight and time spent in New Orleans was very busy! I'm happy you are wearing this high-low BB Dakota dress. It looks perfect on you.
Oh gosh, I was wondering if your luggage did turn up afterwards. Glad to hear it all worked out and that you had a lovely time catching up with all your friends!

sounds like a crazy trip - and at least everything worked out, you had a great time, and eventually made it home in one piece!
One of my biggest fears when traveling is losing my luggage, ugh what a nightmare, I hope the interview went well though. This is a great necklace and it sounds like you have such great people in your life!
