Working Girl Wednesdays - Green Dress

A simple green dress from Ann Taylor and a couple of ideas...


Just a few words of caution - firstly wear Spanx because this slinky fabric (95% Polyester and 5% Spandex) is not forgiving and secondly if it is a hot day and you will be perspiring do not wear this dress, it will show everything. Just need to be prepared for this.


A chunky statement necklace is the easiest way to accessorize this dress.




Adding a great blue (I had to pair it with navy) blazer makes it that much more office ready - black, grey or even brown would work as well. You all know how much I love navy...



I decided to try a thick belt with this dress as well and really like how it looks. If I had selected a skinny belt I would have added a chunky necklace for more visual interest.

Dress - Ann Taylor
Blazer - J Crew
Shoes - Christian Louboutin
Bracelets - The Bay
Necklace - LTS
Watch - Michael Kors
Belt - BCBG

  20. Lovely color! But after reading what you wrote about it, I don't think I would dare to wear it, haha! I think I would want to wear something with similar style and color but in different material.
