I don't own many any "work" dresses -- ones in an appropriate length and style that fit in most offices -- because there just hasn't been a need for one in my life. There's still no need, but now I'm upping my tally to one after falling in love with this Ann Taylor jeweled neck tweed dress (now on sale for $60!) For reference, I'm wearing size 00, my usual AT size.

The lightweight tweed material and short sleeves make it a perfect warm weather work dress. The jeweled neckline means one less accessory to mull over in the mornings because I already look put-together. I also like how the dress is chameleon-like -- is it black or is it navy? It depends on the lighting, which opens up even more color pairing options to choose from. (Shades of) red is the color du jour.
