purpose & description
I was looking for a work appropriate outfit for the Macy's I work at in Portland, and I found this dress hoping I could make it more interesting with some other simple pieces. I got the dress and necklace at Nordstroms, the bag is Betsy Johnson, and the shoes are Marc Jacobs (definitely a splurge item that was worth it!)

I think this is a great outfit for working at a fine department store. It's also a nice outfit for any magazine interns out there (for the fall). One tip: check lower end shoe stores for similar shoes before splurging on expensive wardrobe additions. Nothing's more fashionable than being debt free!

I love it. I don't think it's too short with the leggings.

the only thing I'm not sure about is the bag, what color is it?

I like it already, but was wondering if you plan to wear funky textured tights like the ones in the picture--that would be perfect. Even if you just went with a subtle color that is not black an coordinates with the bag, you will look sleek and sophisticated.

The I think this dress is a little short for work. Also, I'd go for bracelets instead of a necklace since the dress is a turtleneck. I love the knot on the shoes!

Elegant, but bit boring for my taste

Love it! You could even go brighter with accessories but this is definitely very elegant.
