In my wardrobe, I need multi-taskers. I need shoes that can go from the grocery store to the boardroom.  I need tops that can be worn solo with jeans or with a suit.  And I need dresses that I can wear with sandals to brunch in June and with heels to a meeting in December.  This is such a dress.

And did I mention that it’s under-$100?  Of course, I did.  It’s one of its finest qualities.

The Ellen Ottoman Dress from Boden comes in eight colors, from basic black to this yummy passion fruit shade. I bought this Fiesta orange because it felt different for me.  Some of the colors come in petite, all of them appear to come in tall.  Sizes run from 0 to 20.

Also, it’s 15% off with code B8Q1.  You won’t believe how thick this material is for a dress you’re about to pay less than $90 to own.

I own this dress (a Poshmark purchase) in a discontinued pale blue.  I love that I can just throw it on with leopard flats or nude heels or sneakers, and it looks however I wanted it to look.  Frankly, you can make this dress appropriate for almost any occasion.

It’s definitely worth a try.  And for sizing, I recommend going up one size if you are in-between sizes or bigger on top or bottom.  I usually wear a size 6 dress, and at Boden, I buy an 8.
