Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Akris Ribbon-Trimmed Sheath Dress

in Fashion, The Personal Shopper (TPS)

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.

We’re loving this sophisticated sheath dress from Akris. We like the mix of fabrics — the silk of the dress, the grosgrain of the belt, and the ribbon trimming the armholes and neckline — and we love the checkerboard patten, which almost reminds us of pixelated art. Available from Saks for $2,990. Akris – Ribbon-Trimmed Sheath Dress

It’s pretty, but I feel like you guys never post dresses that would work for someone above a B cup!

It’s funny you say that — we’ve been meaning to write a post on how to dress professionally when you’re body is shaped more like Marilyn than Jackie (or perhaps Joan versus Peggy? Hmmn). We’ll have to move that up on the editorial calendar. :)

Thanks, C! Too bad it’s not still acceptable to dress like Joan to work, huh?
