Dress for Success

We're continuing my travel/work trip themed posts and looking at dresses. I prefer wearing dresses when on a work trip because they take up less room in my suitcase and it makes accessorizing or layering a lot easier.

Taylor, Emerald and Black Houndstooth Dress, $61

A beautiful patterned dress that you can ball up in your suitcase and it won't wrinkle.

Target, Merona Longsleeve Lace Dress, $34

Kate Middleton would be so proud of you in this dress. Just a lovely shade of red for fall.

Dorothy Perkins, Black and Ivory Skater Dress, $49

 Simple and beautiful on any body type, this dress is ready to go from day to night.

Piperlime, Pim + Larkin Mixed Jacquard Sheath, $79

This can be worn alone or with a navy blazer. Easy, bright, professional.

A good work dress is an item you should be able to wear to interviews, big meetings, and general dressier professional occasions. Bonus points if you can layer a crewneck sweater on top and wear it as a skirt.

Be fabulous today!

Dressed Up to Sweat

Hey there lovebugs! Today's post is all about surviving the heat of summer and still looking fab for work. There is a very simple solution to this, and it's called the work dress. Let me illustrate.

J Crew Factory, Cora Lace Dress, $58

Sunny and chipper this dress is easy to add pearls or some colorful bling!

Modcloth, Croquet By Me Dress, $92

This one will get a lot more wear than just to work. I'd wear this to brunch with the girls or throw a denim jacket over it for evening.

Target, Mossimo Half Back Zipper Fit and Flare Dress, $27

Oh I'm sorry, you thought this was J Crew? Nope. These beautiful pleats and stripes are from Target!

Nordstrom, Marc New York by Andrew Marc Polka Dot Shirt Dress, $76

Love, love love. When I think shirt dress I don't always think work appropriate. This one is absolutely 9-5 ready.

Whether you walk to work or have the extreme luxury of AC, you're going to need some light and easy to throw on dresses. 

Be fabulous and stay cool!
