Wednesday’s TPS Report: Shumaq Marlena Dress

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
