Wednesday’s TPS Report: What Comes Around Goes Around Meridian Silk Dress in Black

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 like this vintage-inspired silk dress* from What Comes Around Goes Around. The diamond print pattern would be a bit busy (and a bit too '70s) on any other color, but it works on black; we also like the two pleats running down the front of the skirt — ladylike yet different. Even better: it's on sale at RevolveClothing.com for $150 (was $375). What Comes Around Goes Around Meridian Silk Dress in Black
* We know we've had some debates in comments about whether silk dresses are appropriate for the office — we'll run a poll later today on just that topic.

I don’t think it’s the fabric so much as the cut and style of a dress that might make it inappropriate for the office.
I’m not a stick figure, so I’d pass on this one…. I think anyone with a hint of curves would look a little on the frumpy side.
It’s an okay dress. I wouldn’t wear it to a business meeting or anything career related, but it’s not that bad.
Where’s the funeral?
