To simplify my wardrobe for the upcoming legislative session, I have decided to go all white and black.  No navy.  No grey.  No browns of any kind.  All of my foundation pieces will be black and white, no exceptions.  And this dress from Adrianna Papell, coming in at under-$75, fits in perfectly.

This Adrianna Papell dress looks lovely on its own, but its also a great foundation for layering.  The dress is a faux-wrap with a tulip skirt.  It’s made of a mid-weight crepe that drapes well and flatters the body.

Want to layer it?  I recommend a simple v-neck cardigan; I like this white one from Express with balloon sleeves. You could also just add a crewneck sweater over the top of it and wear the dress like a skirt.  Prefer a blazer?  This is a good opportunity to work in some color with this spruce-colored J.Crew blazer.
