Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Just Cavalli’s Black Dress
This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
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.

For today's splurge, we're loving this fitted dress from Just Cavalli. We like the high neckline and its flattering keyhole; we also lurve the wide, fitted waist accented with the thin belt. We'd wear it with black pumps and a cardigan or blazer for the office, and with strappy sandals and a wrap for a night out on the town with friends. It's marked 20% off at the moment, also, bringing it to $639 at Zappos.com (was $799). Just Cavalli – TO640347854900 Dress (Black) – Apparel

Sooooo gorgeous!
I have always liked the high neck, no sleeves look. Especially in those periods where I’m lifting weights….no better way to show off the biceps. Discretely and appropriately, of course.
I love it, but the only way I could wear it to work would be with a jacket, which would hide it :(
Gorgeous!
I think it’s great for offices that are maybe a little less formal, where a cardigan would work. A jacket would hide the super pretty parts of the dress, IMO.
A cardigan, sure. A “wrap,” srsly? No.
