Having seen some of the other sales people it seems that they can push the sexy vs. professional envelope a little more than I would personally be comfortable with- and not just in the footwear arena. So, at least I know that there is some flexibility these and no one is going to be all distressed by my toes hanging out. Adding a jacket over the dress is a great idea and it will give me some different options. I'm tending towards these knit dresses simply because you can stuff something like 30 of them in a backpack and pull them out at your destination with no ill effects, but I do know that I will want some variety and a jacket or two would be just the thing.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693240302469614241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658069320088633573.post-76843001571179491472012-06-21T15:10:43.749-07:002012-06-21T15:10:43.749-07:00Thanks!

Part of the problem was I kept thinking of it as a black dress with a print but it's actually pretty light in color. Changing the belt made a big difference too. I guess it's pretty much a given that the belt that comes with the dress will not be the best one to wear with the dress.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693240302469614241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658069320088633573.post-14808840518324603332012-06-21T11:48:12.839-07:002012-06-21T11:48:12.839-07:00Professional wardrobe depends upon the work enviro...Professional wardrobe depends upon the work environment. Women in banking wear a very different professional wardrobe than say women in teaching would wear. This is probably obvious to you but I thought I'd say it anyways. <br />That dress would be professional in many work situations. I think it is very flattering on you. The shoes may not be considered professional day wear depending upon the part of the United States you live in. In the DC area they would be considered too casual and sexy. Plain closed toes are the norm for business here. Some peep toe pumps are considered summer business shoes. <br />I think that if you add a jacket to the dress it would work and give it another days look. <br />I always traveled with a suit:jacket skirt pants and a dress. I spent the week wearing each piece as a separate combined with either some sort of knit wear top or woven top. I could easily get 7 looks out of these components. Adding the accessories helped spice the looks up. <br />I have friends however that never wear suits and only have dresses that they travel with by either layering under them or over them. Such as adding a button down white shirt under the dress you are wearing. Might make it look like a jumper over a blouse effect. There are lots of blogs that have suggestions for travel capsules.<br />By the way good luck on the interview.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133408484307666338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658069320088633573.post-70796424265364022832012-06-20T19:01:23.281-07:002012-06-20T19:01:23.281-07:00This dress looks beautiful on you and best wishes ...This dress looks beautiful on you and best wishes on snagging that job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658069320088633573.post-54942698221381685332012-06-20T18:58:11.288-07:002012-06-20T18:58:11.288-07:00I really like this outfit...the nice print on the ...I really like this outfit...the nice print on the dress, the belt and shoes.
