Splurge Tuesday’s TPS Report: Bamford’s Wool-Blend Paneled 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.

We love, love, love navy and black when worn together in a planned way, and today's suggested splurge is no exception. We love the paneled layers of navy silk and black wool, as well as the gentle slope of the round neck, and the eminently ladylike short sleeves and knee-length skirt. We'd wear it with pearls or another 18″-22″ necklace, and perhaps a brooch as well. Available at Net-a-Porter for $2,295. Bamford Wool-blend paneled dress

Great timing! Here are my thoughts on navy blue today. BTW, I’m with you on this…http://amidlifeofprivilege.blogspot.com/2009/05/high-wasp-true-colors-navy-1.html
I also love the combo of navy/black …but don’t forget about the black/brown combo…when it looks intentional it can also look really polished! I really like today’s look (but I’m definitely holding out for the more affordable version later in the week!)
