My work got me this dress 🦋

My work got me this dress.

Deep navy blue with mesh sleeves and ruching on the sides of the midsection.

Told my work I prefer longer dresses, as midis are just such a classy look always.

The mesh is cute but I already know it’s not gonna last. That elastic is gonna pop after a couple washes 🙄 but it’s cute for the upcoming season, and they can alway get me another one 😜🥰

What do you think, would you wear this dress? #workoutfit #workoutfitideas #work #dress #emergingcreator

10/3 Edited to

... Read moreI recently wore a deep navy blue dress just like this one to work, and it really made me feel both comfortable and stylish throughout the day. The mesh sleeves add a touch of sophistication without being too formal, which is perfect for office settings that encourage a business casual dress code. One thing I've noticed with dresses featuring mesh and elastic details is that they can require gentle care. While the mesh looks delicate, I found that hand-washing or using a gentle cycle at low temperatures helps maintain its integrity longer. The ruching on the sides is not only flattering but also helps create a smooth silhouette, which I personally appreciate for my work wardrobe. Midi dresses, like the one described, are often my go-to because they offer a classy, timeless look that works for many professional environments, and they transition well from day to evening events. If you’re like me and prefer longer dresses, it’s worth sharing your fit preferences with colleagues or dress suppliers, as it can make a big difference in satisfaction and comfort. I also learned that having a backup dress or two in similar styles allows for rotation, especially since mesh and elastics can wear down faster with frequent washing. Would I wear this dress again? Definitely! It’s a stylish, versatile piece for work outfits, especially during transitional seasons. Pair it with simple heels or flats and minimal accessories for an effortlessly polished look. If you’re thinking of getting a similar dress, just remember to care for the mesh delicately and enjoy the confidence it brings to your wardrobe.

How I’m able to dress vintage daily? It’s not always “glitz and glamour”… a lot of times it’s being able to adjust the style to whatever you need done for daily life. Blue Collar Work… I’m not in a dress. I’m in sweats, a button up shirt, and my hair is wrapped up like Rosie the Riveter. 💪
