Dress for work?
I was at NY&Co this weekend and saw this adorable dress that looked absolutely perfect on me.
That being said, they had two colors (the one I tried on below) - w/yellow, black, white...and then another one a little more "muted" - instead of the yellow, it's brown.
Unfortunately, the website only shows the yellow one....do you think it'd be appropriate for work or looks a little too loud? Image Attachment(s):

Re: Dress for work?
What type of environment do you work in? I think it's adorable but not appropriate for a professional office.

that's exactly what I thought.
I think I'll just get this one w/the yellow and have it for night's out and more casual setting.
I always fall into the predicament where I want to buy something for fun but then won't buy it if I can't wear it for work.

Chris, if you throw a black cardigan/jacket over it with some sensible slingbacks you can definitely pull that off at work. the lenght is perfect for that....then, when you are meeting ME for drinks, just remove cardigan and you have instant hottie.

I was going to say the same thing. I have a similar one from NY& Co (but solid color) and I wear to work with a cardigan!

Re: Dress for work?
The cardigan trick is always my go-to solution for any mildly inappropriate work outfits  I think the dress is really cute and a cardigan would definitely work

Re: Dress for work?
IMO it looks like it might be a bit too short for an office setting.
Super cute, though!

Super cute, though!
Christine is a shorty though, so it probably comes a little longer on her...
