Beautiful Blue..two inexpensive dresses that are perfect for the office.

Annie and my Mom purchased these two beautiful little dresses from Torrid for me for Christmas

( totally early, I know)

I'll tell you why I love them.

1. The colour is beautiful and blue is so elegant

2. The fabric is stretchy, soft and comfortable.

3. The skirts are flirty and have a panel in the front that hides my trouble tummy area.

4. The length is appropriate for work

* Tip, I would totally invest in two tank tops, one in white and one in black. both colours work well with these dresses..but you will need one, the neckline has a very deep V.... that much boobage is not appropriate for an office setting.

To keep the dresses causual for work, wear tights and boots and add a belt. For evening, lose the tights, add a quick pair of heels and a jazzy necklace... done!

The first dress is called the Butterfly Faux Wrap Dress for $54.50 and you can purchase it online at www.torrid.com

You can also track it down at various Torrid stores in the GTA.

I usually hit the downtown location at the the Eaton's Centre...but be wary, the Christmas shoppers are out in full force and are starting to pick over the stock. There wasn't a heck of a lot left in my size the last time I paid a visit and the store was packed. ( on a positive note, they appear to get shipments of new stock in all the time.) I would make my purchases online.... ( malls this time of year stress me out)

Another dress I like is the one (below) that sis and Mom found in-store and doesn't appear to be available on-line, and since it was a gift, I don't really know the exact price. It's a very similar cut to the butterfly dress, except the colour is more of a royal blue. I wear it to work with a little Torrid knit cardi, and a really loud, blingy statement necklace. I'm guessing this dress was around the same price as the one above.
