Work Pick ~ Black Sheath Dress

Banana Republic is having a great sale – 30% through 8/28.  Use code BRFASHION for the deal.

My pick from Banana’s sale is the below lightweight wool cowl-neck sheath - a classic work dress that will take you easily from summer into fall.  Even though I have a closet full of basic black dresses, I feel like I could always use a few more.  This style of dress is a great go-to when I can’t figure out what to wear in the morning and is incredibly versatile.  This dress could easily be paired with bold accessories (for instance earrings or a bracelet) to take you from day to night or worn with pearls for a more classic, understated look.  This dress is originally priced at $150.  However, with the 30% discount, the price is reduced to around $105.  The dress comes in regular, petite and tall sizes and most of the sizes are (currently) in stock.

Work Pick ~ Academy Blazer

Gap sale ends today! Use code GAPLIST for 25% off.

Another great pick from the Gap sale that I’ve had my eye on is this Ponte Academy Blazer, pictured below.   The blazer comes in in regular, petite and tall sizes and in five colors - fuchsia, dark heather gray, navy, black and light heather gray.   (Yay for Gap for offering the full color palette in extended sizes!)  Originally priced at $88.00, after the discount it’s about $66.00.  Although the blazer is 77% polyester, it’s been highly rated – receiving 4.5 stars (out of 5 stars) –  and is extremely versatile.  Like many blazers, I could easily see this one paired with a shift dress at the office or worn with jeans, heels and a tank for a dinner out with friends.  

Also, as we’re sadly nearing the end of summer, this is a great item that will transition easily into fall as the weather cools down (and as many offices revert to a business dress code).     

Work Pick ~ Polka Dots

Gap is having a great sale – 30% off today and tomorrow; 25% off Wednesday and Thursday.  Use code GAPLIST for the deal.

One great item is the below Perfect Dot Shirt, which is a spin on the classic button down shirt featured last week.   It comes in regular, petite and tall sizes and is listed at $49.50.   With the 30% discount, the price is reduced to around $34.65!  There are two color options - a “pink dot” (which appears to be more of a purplish-pink) and a “blue dot.”  The shirt has long sleeves which are rolled up in the picture below.

For those of us who can’t get enough of polka dots, this shirt is a great, work-friendly way to incorporate the trend in office attire.

A button-down shirt is a great, classic piece to add to your work wardrobe.  In addition to pairing the shirt with a suit, it may be tucked into a pencil skirt, styled under a shift dress, or worn with the sleeves rolled up on a more casual work day.  The below sateen, non-iron shirt from Banana Republic comes in fitted shape in regular, tall and petite sizes.  If you’re just building your wardrobe, start  with the basic white and gradually add additional colors to your closet.  Through 8/13 use the code SPECIAL20 for 20% off your Banana Republic purchase.
