Five Dresses/Five Days: A Spring Sheath

Apr 30, 2019

Let’s talk about work dresses. All I want in a work dress is a good fit, a long enough hemline, and a damn sleeve.  Cap, short, 3/4, long, I honestly don’t care.  A sleeve just makes life easier.

This Maggy London sheath from Amazon runs between $69 and $138 depending on the size you need (most sizes appeared to be cheaper).  The dress comes in this lovely navy or a pretty pink primrose color.

Prefer long sleeves? This Maggy London dress is perfect for work cocktail parties.  Plus-size?  I couldn’t find the exact dress above, but I did fine this sleeveless (I know, I know) a-line dress.

As for how to wear it, I love it with a simple, white, one-button blazer.  For a more casual office, a breezy cardigan in pale blue.

Looking for more affordable dresses from Maggy London?  I have a couple that I love.  She really understands dressing for work.  Check the widget below for some of her new things.

    I have that Maggy London dress in navy. I get so many compliments on it. It has a front, centered slit which makes it interesting. It’s well made and wears well. I even bought it 2 size up and wore it until my late 2nd trimester and it looked great. Highly recommend.

      How is the slit when you’re sitting? I always worry about how that might look. Is it ok? Not too revealing?

      • Laura says:

        The dress is actually pretty long. I am 5’7″ and it comes about to the bottom part of my kneecap when standing. A shorter person would definitely need it hemmed but I liked the length. Because the length is a tad longer than other sheaths, I found the slit to be appropriate and not an issue at all.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
