What I Wore to Work: Consign Design Find

Regan wasn't the only one who scored at Consign Design during our recent trip home. I found a great dress for work and was introduced to a new brand (no pun intended) - Nue by Shani. When I pulled the dress from the rack I thought, "cute work dress," but when I put it on, I realized it had a little something special. Nue by Shani dresses have an inner layer of compression fabric - think built-in Spanx. It's crazy comfortable and slimming all at the same time! Done and done. 

I paired the dress with the Irene Wood necklace I got from my favorite things party. 

I have a feeling this won't be my last Nue by Shani dress (You can often find them on ideeli, Zullily and other flash sites). Here are a few currently available that you might like to add to your work wardrobe.

ASOS Addiction

Regan's post, the recent success of my Easter dress, and the warm Spring weather has me thinking all about dresses. In a moment of weakness, I might have ordered five dresses off ASOS. I'm in need of a little pick-me-up in my work wardrobe. I'm not going to keep them all (and it's inevitable that several won't fit right or be figure flattering), but I will surely report back on the ones I do.

The green one is the biggest risk. It could either be a total success or a dress debacle! Which dresses do you think will end up in my closet? 

What I Wore to Work - Eliza J

I love dresses. The are easy, look put together, and for me, are a better body-flattering option than skirts. I'm always on the hunt for great, affordable work dresses. This week I broke out an oldie-but-goodie from Eliza J that I got from Nordstrom two years ago. I love the bow and gold buttons. It's so girly, but still in a sophisticated way - and people always ask me if it's Kate Spade!
