The Find: A Work Dress for Fall

Aug 17, 2021

One of my favorite things for work is a showstopper dress.  A dress that people stop you in the hallway to compliment.  A dress that you have to make sure you’re not wearing too often because you want to wear it all the time.  This is just such a dress.

This marigold-colored Puff Sleeve Dress from Maggy London is a special dress.  The color isn’t one you see every day.  The sleeve is a little bit dramatic, but not over the top.  And the half-sleeve lets you wear this in fall, winter and spring.

So how do we style it?

For a work day, I would wear a cognac boot, a micro fishnet, and a station necklace.  If I had an event after, I would add a leopard clutch.

This dress would be so fun for a fall wedding.  I would wave my hair, tease it and pin it up messy and high.  And I would get a statement earring with hints of dark green Malachite.

If you’ve never worn this color before, I recommend you give it a try.  If it works for you, it looks amazing.

    I love the boots but they’re unfortunately way out of my budget – I would love a rang post on tall cognac boots.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
