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.

    Oh, I love this dress! That color is sublime! What kind of shoe do you all think would work for a fall wedding?
