Today’s post is this week’s Looking Back, Looking Forward. It was reschedule due to the launch of our Fabulous Beauty Freebies Giveaway. Have you entered yet by the way?
If I had a signature work look, it would definitely comprise a sheath dress. I love sheaths because they are figure-molding, easy to wear, and most importantly, timeless. With these types of qualities, I’m willing to spend more on sheaths. I purchased the dress featured today in TJ Maxx for $69.99 (retail $238) and I’ve worn it so many times that the cost-per-wear has got to be approaching zero.
Here are some of my favorite ways to wear this sheath:
- How to Jazz Up a Work Outfit with a Scarf
- Business Travel
- Black Sheath Dress, Unlimited Possibilities
Sometimes, though, I don’t feel like “dressing-up” for work. On those days, I still reach for my favorite sheaths and style them casually. Here’s how I make the black Tahari sheath less dressy.

What are your signature pieces for work?
A very diverse garment.
I would say my signature piece for the office are my pencil skirts. I love the different ways to dress them up!
@Sing: you are so right about that!
@Bravoe Runway: Pencil skirts are such classics!
