So I’ve been on a bit of a red kick lately, but luckily it’s around the 4th of July so it makes sense! (See other recent red looks here and here.)
I decided to wear this red rugby dress with a tie waist to work. It’s super comfortable…almost as comfortable as PJs. Since I felt so laid back in it, I decided to add the blazer for work to step it up a notch. I feel like our dress code definitely gets to be more relaxed during the summer months…and especially during short work weeks when the company shuts down for the holiday so I’m going to embrace it! Anyone else feel the same?
Shop the look:
-Dress: Target (option, option)
-Blazer: Target
-Earrings: Wantable (read my review here)
-Watch: Kate Spade (although I got mine on eBay using a few of my bargaining tips)
-Wedges: Naturalizer via Saver’s

Red looks amazing on you! I love this dress, it looks so comfortable!
You are so sweet- thank you! (And it is SO comfy…not gonna lie- I have it in a camel/yellow stripe version too hehehe)
Love that dress on you Valerie. Such a pretty colour.

Thanks Agi- I think red is such a great bold color that works well with all those neutral tones!
This is a great dress for the office. Happy 4th Holiday!
Thanks Antionette! You too!
I love the idea of wearing a blazer to make a “pj” dress more office appropriate. you look great!
Thanks Fran! It’s all about adding some structure with a blazer or a nice statement necklace and classic heel. No one knew I was secretly wearing a PJ dress- mwa ha haaa!
What a fantastic dress! I don’t think I would have considered wearing it to the office with the waist tie (well, at least not at my old job!) but you really dressed it up with the blazer. Looks great!
Sounds like this outfit could totally work at your new gig! Anytime I can wear PJ-like clothing at the office is a win.
Omgsh this is adorable–I love that the tie waist gives it shape :) I would totally rock this at the office!

Agreed- so glad the tie waist was there otherwise it would be shapeless! I could even add a belt over it sometime too! Thanks for reading!
Such a pretty dress, especially with the blazer! Red is a gorgeous color on you!
xo,

Thank you Angela! I love a bold red– and the navy blazer adds a professional finishing touch!
Love this look and I do feel the same! I just wore a tshirt dress to work yesterday, but paired it with a fun necklace and a blazer just like you did to make it feel a little more work appropriate, but I couldn’t resist some really fun striped summery wedges too. We are definitely on the same page! :)
I love it! It’s all about how you accessorize the outfit- tshirts dresses can be good for the office and for casual events too!
Very pretty combo, you look gorgeous.
Thank you Ginny :-)
