What to Wear to Work: Retro Chic

by Emma / July 29, 2010 / 3 comments

Retro sheath dresses are all the rage now, no doubt thanks to Mad Men’s undeniable style influence (mid-century modern furniture is everywhere these days). This sheath dress by Shoshanna is no exception. It’s a little pricey, but rest assured that the dress will be in style for decades to come.

I paired this black sheath dress with classic black and gold accessories. The bold red accent of the Italian leather laptop-ready tote makes the look pop.

And yes, that watch is by Jennifer Lopez (of Gigli fame). No one ever needs to know.

If I could afford this outfit( 759.00), I would not be worried about what to wear to work. A little more realistic price point, please.

It won’t be in style for even 5 years. If you like the look and figure you’ll wear it often, then go ahead. But there’s no such thing as investment dressing.
I think a less expensive dress and better shoes is the wiser choice.
