With the holidays rapidly approaching, there are more cocktail parties, family gatherings, fancy dinners and holiday festivities than ever before! What could be better to wear than a classic, always adorable and stylish little black dress? Dress it down with a cardigan and some boots for a pre-Christmas dinner with the grandparents. Dress it up with heels and jewelry for a night under the mistletoe at your best friend’s swanky holiday bash! Really, the possibilities are endless!

Something about summer nights makes me reluctant to head home after I leave work; all of this means that I need to find outfits that are office appropriate but don’t make me look like a B&T/d-bag corporate type (put the weapons away, I work at a huge corporation too). Anywho this hot pink dress from French Connection is exactly the type of thing I’m looking for. The tailoring means that this look is eminently office appropriate, but the decidedly mod take on the shirtdress makes it just as much fun for a night out (and then of course, there is the color). Pair with ballet flats while at the office and slip on a pair of bold black gladiators for later.
