With this outfit I decided to take my own advice and wear something I'd normally consider to be reserved for special occasions, or at least for outside of work. You might remember this dress from last December, when I wore it to my company holiday party. I haven't gotten around to trying it out as a work outfit until now, and I was inspired to do so because I feared that if I didn't do it now, I might have to wait for cooler temperatures to don a wool-blend dress with a boiled wool back panel. As it turns out, I shouldn't have worried -- a thick blanket of fog has since descended on the upper peninsula and it feels pretty much like winter in San Francisco. Still, I'm glad I finally pushed this dress through the work barrier, because it's just too pretty and unique to let sit in my closet until another holiday party.

Awesome outfit! You look fabulous. I love it as "dressy wear", but how nice that you can have the versatility to wear this for work (and not look overdone).
Great way to show how a piece can be very easily dressed up or down. Two very different looks. Glad you'll be getting more wear out of this lovely dress.
That is an unbelievable dress, and looks great for the workplace. Oh, that dress is so gorgeous . . . Can't get over how beautiful it is.
You've dressed it down flawlessly. Not that I'm surprised by that. ;)
I took dances classes in the Marais neighborhood when I studied abroad. It was such a unique place, and a fun area in which to just get lost. I can imagine coming home with a suitcase full of wardrobe additions if I'd been able to afford it back then!
This looks great on you. The bodice portion reminds me of a Renaissance man's jerkin.
I love that dress! If I worked with you I would be stopping by your office everydday for some inspiration!
That is such cool construction. It's referential, but not too showy. Neat!
