Office Space

July 23rd, 2012

Club Monaco Dress, Vintage Necklace and Clutch, Topshop Cuffs, Louboutin Heels

I no longer work in a typical office setting, but I still need a few key pieces in my closet that are suitable for meetings and events. This dress is currently in high rotation, since it’s neutral, but not boring (ideal for accessorizing) and slim fitted, but not showy. Black and tan has always been one of my favorite color combinations and the paneling on this one remarkably flattering.

Great dress. I wish I could pull that look off but not with these old lady arms.

Love the dress. Such a classic cut — would flatter a lot of figure types!

Fabulous dress! You have an amazing figure but the dress is too tight and it looks like it is wearing you!

So gorgeous! At first glance it seems like a dress that would be hard to style, but the classic colors really almost act like a neutral. (Love your lip color too!)

This is a wonderful dress and would be flattering on many figures because this two tone look really cuts down on width. But until women refuse to wear such ill-fitting clothres no one will look good. GIRLS, IF YOU HAVE HORIZONTAL PULLING THAT LEAVES A “WRINKLE” ANYWHERE THE DRESS DOES NOT FIT. This is not showing off your little pouchy tummy it is plain out gross.

This look is stunning, brown and black is one of my favorite color combinations!
Would love to see what other work related pieces you find along the way, as I am always searching for new work pieces to invest in.

I just feel the need to say I’m sorry on behalf of the few people who felt the need to attack your body instead of critiquing the outfit, if they had a problem with it. As someone who used to suffer from anorexia, I so appreciate that you unabashedly love food and promote a healthy, balanced image and lifestyle. You look great. I hope those who spoke incredibly rudely to you feel proud of themselves for being downright mean and classless.

I love this dress on you – probably my favourite outfit to date ( apart from your beautiful wedding dress!). You are right about the black and tan colour combination – timeless and chic!

Someone commented on comments attacking your body, but I don’t think that was it. You have a fabulous figure and they said so. I do agree with them though that the dress doesn’t fit quite right. Doesn’t mean that you both aren’t lovely, it just isn’t a good fit.

I agree — You are very beautiful, you have great taste, and this is a great blog, but the dress doesn’t fit.

I Think the dress fit extremely nice. these comments just show how people can have radically different tasted. Frankly speaking from all of the photos that I have seen of you, this dress fits you the best: may be because I just love this style.

You literally have like the perfect body: voluptous in the right places yet super toned.
