A Classic Work Dress with Maryling
Your outfit always speaks before you do, so make it count!
Hello Loves! I’m not sure when my love for dresses began but I’ve clearly been a fan for a long time. There’s honestly nothing that makes me feel more confident than a killer work dress that’s built to command attention. For me, when I walk into the office, I want to be seen as intelligent, confident, and capable, and this dress often speaks before I do.
Rented from Rent the Runway, you can learn about my obsession soon, it was one of my first pieces I that caught my eye. I’ve been trying to amp up my wardrobe a bit and start including more unique stand-out, speak for themselves kind of pieces pieces. This piece was the perfect choice! It’s such a crisp and clean look, the moment I put it on, I knew it was going to be winner in the office.
Plaid is not only a huge trend but a true classic! I’ve been seeing a lot of 80’s style plaid suits on trend but as a dress girl, this is an elegant alternative. It’s a great option for Fall when layered with a turtleneck and in this look, a simple black heel. With the colder months in full effect, I would definitely put on a pair of tights with this the next time around just for warmth. The other times I’ve worn it, I’ve sported it with a black ankle boot AND a metallic sneaker. Depending on the look and what style I’m going for, it’s a super versatile dress that can be worn time and time again.
If you’re interested in renting the dress like I did, you can find it here (plus get $30 off your first month of Rent the Runway with this code here). This Fall, I’m really feeling midi dresses and right at the calf, it’s the perfect length. With office attire, there always seems to be a discussion about how short a skirt or dress can be. Go the safe route this season and stay warm with a length like this. There’s no question at all that this is appropriate for work.
