Like most girly girls, I love wearing dresses. In fact, I probably have more dresses in my wardrobe than any other article of clothing. As far as I'm concerned the best part about being a girl is looking like a damsel in a dress. Dresses are fun, sexy, and the epitome of femininity. Now I understand that not every woman is a fan of dresses, but let's face it- there is at least one occasion in every woman's life where wearing one is required. Don't stress the dress code because I'm about to decode your invites from best friend's birthday bash to opening night at the opera. Welcome to today's rules that address the dress.
Office & After
Office & After
Invites: client dinner and coworker happy hour.
Casual fabrics, like ponte and jersey knit, transition well from office to night out. Stick to structured shapes and embrace the season's graphic prints and color blocking.
