Great Dresses For Work

[Kelli Combs (admin)]

As you all know, we have to look professional when we go to work.  I love to dress up.  I bet I spend close to 12,000 a year on clothes alone.  My husband has no clue - have my own credit card that he doesn't see.  I pride myself on looking the best I can possibly look on my jobs.  I feel I get a lot more respect when I look sharp.  I can really tell a difference.

Anyways, I found this website called Modcloth that is just really great.  I am posting two URLs of two dresses I just bought there this weekend.  I'm hoping the rest of you will like the clothes as much as I do. I am a huge polka dot fan and would have everything in polka dots if I could.  Anyways, here are two dresses I got.  There are many, many more here. 

What I like about the website on reviews is people put what their bust size is and waist and hips and then a comment.  That helps me decide which ones to read because I'm a size 6 with D sized chest and a lot of times clothes don't always look that great if you have a large chest.  I have to be very careful.  It helps to know what size someone is when reviewing what they have to say about an outfit.  They also post pictures of themselves in the outfit, which is very cool.

Let me know what you think.

This one is super cute. Cardigan is a must for work, though.

I like how the customers post pictures of themselves in the dresses. It's nice to see "real" people, not models, wear these clothes.

I totally agree.  Very helpful.  I like they said to order up a size so I got a large in the last two dresses and it's a good thing because they're both snug.  I also look at the reviews for people around my size to know if I will like the dresses.  People put in their measurements, which is also very helpful.  Love it.

I LOVE it on you, Kel. Very classy retro chic. You look grrrrreat! I loved this dress when I saw it on the site. Then you mentioned here that you bought it.The cardigan is perfect.

Kelli,

You look super cute.  Love the pearls.  Nice touch.

Thanks, guys.  The sleeves seem a little short for March, so I added the sweater.  Gotta love the Spanx!!

I love the dress!  Looks great on you!  I just ordered a really pretty white dress from White House Black Market.  They have real nice clothes, too.  I have the same problem as you, Kelli.  I have a big chest, but size 6 body.  Dresses can be hard to find because of that reason.  The dress I bought on White House Black Market I ordered in an 8, just to fit the chest, but the dress has some lycra, so it fits pretty good.  The stomach area is a tiny bit big, but I still love it, and it was on sale!

Carol, post a picture of it on you when you get it.  It would be fun if everyone posted outfits that they've bought to wear to work.  It would be great to see.

Good way to get good ideas about what to wear with what.

[Carol A.]

I will!!  Here's a picture of it for now....I hope it posts okay, I'm not good at posting pictures.

I also bought these dress pants at Victoria's Secret in white and black.  I love shopping, too!

Carol,

I love that style.  That would be fabulous in a dark blue or red too.

I know, it would look great in those colors, too.  I love anything military-ish, haha.  My son got me this great military winter coat by Guess for Christmas.  I get so many compliments on it!  I'll try to find a picture of it.  Right now I'm still shopping online :)
