Black Off the Shoulder Wrap Dress
The off the shoulders wrap dress is a classic that will never go out of style. The neckline is seductive yet elegant as it only shows your collar bones (less is more ladies!). The puffy sleeves add another romantic touch. I especially love this dress from Shein since it goes over the knees and has long sleeves so it’s appropriately warm for February as it is still the middle of the winter. Otherwise, the look is kept relatively simple. Add black semi-opaque tights (or fun polkadot ones like I did) and classic pointy suede pumps. Make sure you can walk in them (so not too high). Add a retro-looking patent bag and glamorous green jewelled earrings and a ring to contrast with the red lips and nails. Add a faux fur coat for an old Hollywood look.

Hi Scarlett,
Sorry for emailing you again, but I was wondering if you would be able to send me some links for workwear dresses and outfits.
From Joanna Smith
Hi Joanna,
I responded to your other comment asking which country you reside in so that I can link to online stores that are available to you. Concerning your requests here, I think I would be able to help you better if we talked personally since I would need more details about what kind of workwear you’re looking for. I’ll send you an email about that! In general what is considered appropriate for work varies a lot depending on the company but you can never go wrong with blouses / button down shirts, dress pants, matching suits, and high neck dresses and skirts that are both knee-length or longer and aren’t too form fitting. I think looser clothes are a good rule of thumb. If it’s the winter, turtleneck sweaters are great options. Classic pointy pumps with heels that aren’t too high (no higher than 3 in. / 8 cm), loafers, pointy flats and even clean, sleek sneakers are all fine. I think you’ll be able to find a lot of inspiration with my looks in general as I always aim to dress in an elegant fashion. 😉 I hope I could help!
