Today I wore one of my favorite dresses of all time. I actually own it in both white (which I got first) and black because I love it so much.
It’s so simple and can be worn so many different ways. The versatility is really the beauty of this dress. It is from Club Monaco and I believe it cost about $170 or so (I had bought it for a job interview I had in NYC so I decided to splurge.) I got the white one for full price and was able to purchase the black one on sale. I don’t mind spending more when it’s a dress that is so versatile and classic.
The dress can be worn as a v-neck by tucking the top parts in when it’s unbuttoned. I usually keep it buttoned up to be more conservative for work events.
I attended an event today called Handbags and Heroes hosted by Heroes for Children which is a nonprofit organization that helps support families who have a child with cancer. It is such an amazing organization and I encourage you to check them out. I think the Club Monaco dress is perfect for an afternoon event. I’ve also worn it to work functions, my wedding shower etc. I’ve worn the black one a lot too, even for evening events.
I also have another OOTD from Tuesday that I’ll post:
Dress- Charlotte Ronson for JC Penny; Belt- Forever 21; Bow Flats- Target
I switched my nails up too! I went for a hot pink this week. It’s OPI’s “I’m India-Mood For Love” which is one of my favorite hot pink colors. 2 coats and it’s perfect!
Do you have a dress that is just your go-to perfect for any occasion dress? Let me know in the comments below!

Both dresses are gorgeous! I don't mind spending a bit more on classic pieces either. Not at all!
I am SO in love with that second dress! I love the first dress too; reminds me of the dress I wore our wedding day (it was a white sundress since we we got married in the park). Maybe I'll bring it out of the back of our closet and re-wear it 🙂 I do have a black dress from Express that is my go-to dress. I've dressed it up for weddings and thrown on a cardigan for work too. Love it!

I don't have a go to dress, but seeing how fab you look in both of yours makes me want one! I seriously love the Club Monaco one. (Did you land the job!?) I'd have hired you in that dress lol
i love the shoes, what brand are they?
both of those dresses look great! i tried on that ronson dress when it first came out and it fit really weird, which was a bummer b/c i loved the print and the ruffle.
emily- yes I did get that job but i've since moved to another one 🙂
I LOVE the white dress and the shoes you're wearing with it!
Recently found your blog and love your OOTD's 🙂
This dress is stunning (and so are you)
xoxo
You love that dress for good reason, it looks great on you! Love the shoes and belt with it too… may be one of my favorite "looks" you've done! 🙂
I just bright pink on my toes last night (essie infatuation) Have a great wkd!
That white dress is amazing–love it! Love the polish too. I might have to pick that one up today 🙂
The white dress is amazing! It is so perfect on you V! Love the belt you paired it with and also the floral/studded number as well. The polish looks great too, my daughter would love it (anything hot pink!) 🙂

I love both of those dresses in fact! I can see why you got the white and black version of that dress, it really is super versatile and looks great with that belt.
I hope you are having a great weekend girl!
These dresses look lovely V! Love the white one with the belt and the black cardi, great idea. Love the hot pink with the second dress! I want more dresses now…. 🙂
I can see why you got this dress in black too! Love it! You look amazing :)- And the shoes are perfect!
Loving the hot pink nail color! I don't have a color like that, but now I want to get it 😉

Wow, you look great in both dresses but the white one is just gorgeous on you. It looks like they designed specifically for your body! The belt and shoes just makes it that much more fierce. Love!
Oh my gosh, I love that white dress! It's so incredibly versatile. I agree with Emily, I would have hired you in a minute!
I love the club monaco dress! and *want* those MK shoes!
On the train home from Toronto to Ottawa, and thought I'd check in to your page. Love the dresses V! The white one especially. The cut is gorgeous, a classic and definitely a wise investment – that dress will look good in 5, 10, 20 years.

Love both dresses! Sorry if I missed it, but did the Club Monaco dress come with that belt? I need a belt like that and was wondering where you got it 🙂
bees- the belt is also from Club Monaco over a year ago…it was about $89 but I wear it ALL THE TIME so it was a wise investment!
