Striped with Confidence

Saving for a wedding definitely curtails the clothing budget, but I know I can always count on my local Marshalls to carry designer fashion (of great quality) for very reasonable prices. One of the areas of concern when being budget conscious is my work wardrobe because professional attire can be pricey, but Marshalls gives me the confidence to find pieces (like this dress) that are office appropriate and can also be worn at happy hour!
Things that I check for in my work wear: 
Length: You want to make sure the dress is not too short for the office.
Front: No cleavage in the work place! This dress has a zipper on the front that can go all the way to the top to remain conservative.
Material: No see through’s, thick material is a must and wrinkle free will save you a lot of time in the morning.
This dress passed my test and when paired with a black blazer and black pumps, I’m ready for another busy day at the office! Today I bring you the spiced up version for happy hour!

      Shoes are from Charlotte Russe, but I think they are sold out now, they may have similar options on their site.
