Fashion for the Real World
You won't see any filters, props, or artificial lighting. Just clothes. Clothes that you can feel good about wearing every day.
The weather has been getting slightly warmer, with fluctuations of cold days here and there. However, it's been warm enough that I can look at dresses without cringing, which is a great sign that spring is coming. It's so nice to get out of work and still see the sun outside.
Personally, I'm always trying to tackle the challenge of the "work dress." Aside from my coveted collection of sweater dresses, sometimes I need something a little more professional for those slightly nicer business functions. There's something very sophisticated about pinstripes, and I absolutely love them for work clothes- whether its pin stripe pants or dress, I'm naturally attracted to this type of pattern. Typically I'm not a huge fan of the "dress that looks like you're wearing your boyfriend's shirt" look, but this pinstripe dress from bananarepublic.gap.com has the pinstripes that I love, while still being sophisticated. I really like the structure of this dress, which makes it a little different than other "shirt-type" dresses. Also, pockets!! To me this is the ultimate bonus when a dress has pockets. It seems like there is always something to stick in there when I'm on the go. Sometimes I have presentations and the times that I have to wear the dreaded lapel microphone, a pocket is necessary to stash that battery pack. I've been caught a couple times in a dress that has no pockets, no belt, and has left me hanging onto that stupid battery pack for the entire presentation. Regardless of whether you give presentations or not, I don't think having pocket could be argued as being a bad thing. **Update** It looks like they are out of this dress on the website, but still have a skirt of the same material available for $12.00!!! Originally $98.00!! Get it before it's too late! bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=258230002
