Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Dinah Window Pane Dress

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This windowpane dress from L.K. Bennett looks great — I like the hemline and the sleeve length and the way the pattern doesn't align with the belt perfectly. Of course, you could swap out the belt for something with a pop of color or a different kind of belt if you wanted to. The dress is machine washable, too — or dry clean. (By the way, I also love the pictured shoes.) It's only in stock in lucky sizes at this point (the size range is 0–16), so grab it now if it catches your eye! It's $395. Dinah Window Pane Dress
Ann Taylor has a more affordable option, and two plus-size options are at Lands' End and Jessica London.
Psst: two great sales going on today: the Nordstrom fall sale and Lands' End is offering 40% off your order, including sale and clearance stuff. Stay tuned later today for a “how to build a work wardrobe” installment for Lands' End, and if I have time I'll try to do a quick roundup of sale stuff at Nordstrom.

Some of our latest threadjacks include:

What do you guy do to avoid picking/peeling your cuticles? It’s a bad habit that I cannot seem to stop.
I treated myself to a shellac mani until I had broken the habit (2 or 3 times was all it took). For more cost-conscious options: could you do an at-home manicure or get a no-polish mani? I find that when my nails are groomed and my hands are hydrated with lotion they’re less likely to peel and get hang nails, so I’m less likely to mess with them.
