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.
There are some crazy sales going on right now at Couture Candy — up to 80% on lots of items! For today’s TPS, we like this lovely dress from Shumaq. We like the white placket against the navy blue, with a bit of cream embroidery; for the office we’d wear it with a cream or white boyfriend cardigan and, perhaps, purple leather pumps. Was $202, now $101 at CoutureCandy.com (also available in brown). Shumaq Marlena Dress in Blue

That doesn’t seem like a corporate job appropriate outfit.

I agree with anon – way too short for work. And I’m tall so probably even shorter on me. Short skirts are a huge no-no at my corporate office.

Although I think the length is perfectly fine (although about as short as I would go), the details of the lace and the “bib” look of the top remind me of the dresses I wore as a toddler… making the “onesie” size option a little too appropriate IMO!

Wow, this is a tough crowd to please. I think this is a beautiful dress and I could totally wear it to my BigLaw California job (with or without a cardigan). But I don’t understand what “onesie” means as far as sizing.

I agree with Cat. If you’re trying to shed your “stop treating me like a woman who needs to be coddled” image at the office, this is not the dress to do it in.
TPS, get it together!

I love this dress, and I would definitely wear it on casual Fridays or with a crisp white jacket if I didn’t have a client meeting. But I agree with CS- what does “onesie” mean? I’m definitely too short to wear a one-size-fits-all dress…
Sadly, it’s out of stock at the moment. Oh well.
