The Find: A Work Dress for All Seasons

Jul 11, 2019

It’s mid-July, so it’s time to start thinking about clothing you can wear into the fall.  And nowhere is the summer-to-fall transition more important than in your work wardrobe.

This T Tahari Tonya dress ($118) has a pleated shoulder and a flattering v-neckline.  It comes in navy or black (or both).  And the reviews for this dress gush about the flattering cut and the versatility.

For work in summer, I would pair either color with a white blazer and coordinating pump.  I like this notch-collar open-front Calvin Klein blazer for under-$50.  For work in the fall, I’d go for a long black jacket (for either color), tights and ankle boots.

Plus-size?  Try this Calvin Klein dress.  Petite?  This Kasper v-neck is a nice option.

    I have this dress. I bought it with the coordinating jacket, last-minute, for a job interview two years ago. Didn’t get the job but still love the dress.

      I have 2 Tahari dresses and find them way too short for work (I’m 5’8 and they show, like, 4 inches of thigh). What’s the length like on this dress?

    I own this dress and love it. It’s too dressy for my casual office, but I save it for events, occasions and meetings and always feel my best in it and get a compliment.

The Beauty Edit: Neck Creams

Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]
