the navy sheath dress

#workwear.

the sheath dress is such a great work wardrobe essential for any business woman. i have quite a few but most of mine are either color blocked or all solids, nothing too crazy. #plainjane. i usually dress them up with a silk scarf, brooch, or a tweed jacket. but when i saw this one, i snagged it because i knew it didn't need anything to dress it up because of the pretty floral applique! and it doesn't hurt that it's in NAVY. yes, the love for navy is very real. i also really like the style of the sleeves on this one, not quite a full sleeve and not quite a sleeveless. it's a hybrid :D throw in a satchel tied with a silk scarf and you got classy to the MAX.
