This dress is lower cut and sleeveless - certainly not appropriate for navigating the cube maze at work. However, tying a chambray shirt quickly converts this dress to work wear. I wish this type of magic could be used on other things not work appropriate... like office cocktails during the day. Maybe I've just been watching too much Mad Men, but I'd like to make the nomination for office cocktails as the universal method for improving corporate culture. We can call it the Draper policy :)

Perfect outfit, Heather! This is fabulous for dressing down a office suit-dress :) I'll have to remember it so I can get more wear out of some of my dresses.

I just wanted to comment on the lovely fuller skirt (I am looking for one at the moment) when I read that it is actually a dress. This looks perfect for work.
Now you inspired me to transform my dresses!

Lovely outfit. The dress certainly made a beautiful skirt - love the flowing fabric and the colour. x
What a smart way to make a dress work-appropriate. I usually just throw a cardigan over it, but this is WAY cuter!
Love how you made the dress office appropriate. Also love the color of the shoes with the emerald skirt.
I like your interpretation of office wear, very chic, trendy and classic with a twist. looks great hun!
I love how you made it work appropriate, there is nothing worse than a dress you love but can't wear to work! Have a great Monday!
Love this. It's totally work appropriate now and super cute! xo, Julie
Perfect for the office!! Cocktails at our desk at work sound fabulous, but I am not sure I would be too productive after a few!! Love this simple and chic look!
Absolutely adorable, pretty girl. You seriously, though, would do well in a brown paper bag!

This is great! I love what you did with the dress to cover up the parts that were not so office appropriate!
The chambray shirt looks adorable tied! And there's definitely been some cocktails at work over here on occasion, haha!

I've seen people tie chambrays a lot like this lately, and I absolutely love it! It's such a fun, playful twist and it makes this dress appropriate while staying more fun than a cardigan would!

This is pretty much my go-to for summer office outfits. Love the cute casual vibe a knotted shirt gives the dress.

I love being able to make something work appropriate like this! The color of the dress is gorgeous and I love your heels :)
Also, I am all for the cocktails at work :) I think it would help me be more creative ;)
I like how you covered the dress up with this Chambray shirt, really brings the look together! The shoes are so adorable with the outfit, what a lovely look!

Love this look - so cool that it's actually a dress! I've recently started to play around with the shirt-over-dress look, too - so fun! And here, here for office cocktails. Let's make it happen!

Loving how you made the dress work appropriate, Heather, and let me tell you, you look so chic and sophisticated in those glasses!
Indeed, work appropriate!

Tying a chambray over a dress is one of my favorite tricks -- you look great. I love the length of the dress with those heels, too.

Such a lovely look for the office Heather! I've yet to try a shirt over a dress but it's on my list for the spring and summer! I'm afraid I won't look as polished as you!

I like the entire look but the glasses? They rock! In fact, I have a pair almost exactly like them.
Great outfit!

That's such a great idea! And when you're done with work, you can take off the chambray top and be ready for a night on the town :)
This is such a cute look. I love making not-so-appropriate things appropriate like this... I wish making things work nicely could be as easy as this, yeah...

I love the chambray over a dress, I belted it when I did it, but I think the knot is so fun, I'll have to try it. :)

I love this idea! I've been trying to come up with ways I can convert summerish dresses into my winter wardrobe. This is a perfect idea!

I love how you have tied the chambray shirt to make it work styled! That is such a rad idea and one I may have to use, if you dont mind?!
Great outfit, and how you created it. Totally agree on the Draper policy!

Gosh this is adorable Heather!!! The ties from the dress are so subtle under the chambray - it really works!!! I'm definitely going to have to try this...and I'll definitely put some thought into how to disguise cocktails at work through fashion...hmm... :)
That's such a good idea! This is the perfect look now :)
love the chambray!

Love doing stuff like this! The color of the dress is fabulous & goes perfectly with the chambray. Plus this is the PERFECT way to wear red & green together without looking Christmas-y. Love it!!
And I absolutely second the mandatory office cocktails idea! :-)
I love knotting chambray tops - they go with everything!
