I tend to like clothing with a more '40s-'80s mod kinda look, so when I saw this target dress with collar and belt, and polka dots, I had to have it. I actually ordered it in two sizes, and sent back the one that didn't fit.
I like these kinds of dresses because they're soooo cute so, are party-appropriate, demure in length, and also office-appropriate because of the cut and collar (although this one has a fake collar). I struggled a lot in deciding whether to wear this dress because I can't often wear dresses at work (how can I run after kids??), but decided to go for it and make multiple uses of my dresses.
In this picture (pictured with my awesome intern I supervised last year), I wore the dress with a black blazer and Naturalizer blue pumps. I really like blazers. I used to wear them all the time; they give one a cooler, more professional look. Now that I work a lot with kids, I tend to wear them a little less, but they always help to give an outfit a more polished look.
I also wore the same dress, sadly no pictures due to my hiatus, sans blazer, to a bridal shower for a dear friend Ms. Quesadilla. Paired it with my dotted black scrunch flats. An instant hit. I felt cute. And really, isn't that what really matters in the end, that you feel great and comfortable and fabulous in what you wear???
