Pink Sheath Work Dress

Pink Sheath Dress: This ponte sheath is actually better with its scalloped detailing! Also it’s under $100. Liz Claiborne has a budget-friendly version for under $50. Also really loving this Ann Taylor dress – its pink hue is spot on!) | Bag: Marley Lilly Tote (c/o) | Shoes: LOFT Block Heel Sandals (Old – Nordstrom has a few similar sandals for under $100 here + here. Old Navy has a really cute block heel sandal for $36!) | Necklace: J.Crew

Whenever I have a big meeting or there’s a networking event after work and I feel like I have to put my best foot forward, I reach for a sheath dress. It’s such a flattering silhouette and I swear I feel like whenever I zip it up, I feel like I’m Mary Tyler Moore (RIP) gonna make it after all. It’s incredible how one piece of clothing can boost your mood so much. But sheath dresses are my power move.

Pink is more than just my signature color. It’s also my power color. Remember when you had AIM and painstakingly picked an avatar like your entire identity depended on it? I picked a GIF from Legally Blonde of Elle saying “Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed.” Like sheath dresses, I just feel ready to take on the world when I’m wearing pink. Pink may not be the first color you think of when you think of a sheath dress for work. But when paired with minimal jewelry and neutral block heel sandals, a pink sheath dress is great for 9-5. If you need to add a layer, this Ann Taylor linen blazer will be clutch when the humidity kicks in.

Block heel sandals are the best summer footwear for work. I can run around all day long wearing block heel sandals like it’s no thing. Basically they’re a miracle shoe. These exact sandals are from LOFT last season but I’ve rounded up a few neutral toned block heel sandals that are all under $100 – Old Navy even has a cute pair for $36!
