The Find: A Work-Cocktail Dress
Feb 28, 2019
We’ve all been there: You have a work conference attend and you need something to wear to cocktail hour. It must be packable, fit beautifully, be easy, not fussy, and be work appropriate. What if I told you that that dress could also cost you $30?
This Carmen Marc Valvo dress, from his diffusion line Carmen, is fantastic. It has a sleek faux-wrap look, a cool clasp to accentuate the waist, and comes in three gorgeous colors (black, navy, red). A simple, elegant dress for just $30. I can hardly believe it myself.
To jazz it up for a cocktail hour, choose a cool (but not over the top) earring, a large, slouchy clutch and a simple sandal. All done.

If you like this style, this dress is very similar to the Anne Klein faux wrap dress that Macy’s usually has in several colors/prints, and usually for around $40. I own it in several patterns and colors, and it is a classic!
can you link to it?
This is the dress. Lots of readers own it, they talk very positively about it. https://shopstyle.it/l/0aLI
I think it’s actually this one: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/anne-klein-faux-wrap-dress?ID=5138144&CategoryID=72489&swatchColor=Black#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D66%26ruleId%3D78%26searchPass%3DmatchNone%26slotId%3D1
Sorry for the long link! They’re originally $100 but I found one on sale a few weeks ago for $35–Macy’s has tons of sales.
I own this dress and can confirm it is amazing!!!
Bought it for my conference in the UK. I bet it packs well! Thanks.
