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?

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
