All Dressed Up: Chambray Peplum in the Office

The fashionable woman wears clothes. The clothes don’t wear her.― Mary Quant

First of all, let me acknowledge a certain chick at Funky Fresh who made me buy this dress. I love it! I loved it when it was just a photo and I loved when I tried it on. Now that I’ve actually worn it, it ranks pretty high in my list of favourite dresses.

It’s no secret that I love peplum. You can view two previous peplum outfits here. But the fact that the dress is a light chambray in gorgeous blue and work appropriate(-ish) … I was in dress heaven.

I’m sure I’ve said it before but I really don’t think work outfits have to be boring. Plus, fun outfits give me that extra boost to get out the door in the morning! Since our office dress code doesn’t allow bare arms, this simple black cardigan covered that base without covering the dress.

Do you jazz up your wardrobe? Let me know why or why not in the comments.
