My chic office wear – j crew black dress

Hope, you will like my first office wear outfit post. My latest chic office wear is j crew black dress. I mostly like to wear sophisticated dresses like this or pants and shirts to my work on the days when I am not wearing my scrubs. It’s hard to take your own pictures when you are trying to get to work. That’s one thing, I need to learn to take my own outfit photos. This photo was taken by my sister, as I grabbed few of my latest office wear clothes and had my sister take almost 128 pictures of me :).  Heads up, few outfit posts coming your way in next few months.   THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS, SEE DISCLOSURE / FULL DISCLOSURE HERE

Memorial day deals

JCrew factory has amazing Memorial Day deals, I got an email with this caption 🙂 Up to 70% off Winning Deals (!!!), on top of 50% off everything + extra 50% off clearance.

I have rounded up the stores with the discount they are offering and my favorite dresses for memorial day sale. Click below or browse at the end of this post.

Memorial Day sale

 

 j crew black dress

To be very frank, it was my first time shopping at J Crew. I had seen many bloggers rocking J.Crew looks. After reading this outfit post on “Franish the blog”, I noticed for the first time that J.Crew has nice clothes but never really went to that store. I am so thrilled to get this dress and it fits perfect, though I had to size up one size from Ann Taylor dresses. I always like belted dresses as it gives a nice silhouette and definitely gives it a chic office wear look.

This dress was $49 from its regular price $128 and I got extra 15%off with free shipping on my first order. This dress cost me only $41. I ordered one dress in navy blue as well and soon you will see that outfit post as well. As I was not sure of my correct sizing with J.Crew, I ordered one size up in both dresses and returned the non-fitting dresses back to factory outlet store in Tampa. That’s how I got the earrings that I wore in this outfit post.

Naturalizer Natalie pumps

These Naturalizer pumps are so comfortable, and this is my first pair of closed toe narrow heels as well. I wore them to work with my long pants as I did not want too much attention on me wearing them with the dress ;).  j crew black dress tradesy Dior sunglasses   chic office wear j crew black dress furla handbag cat eye sunglasses

It started to rain as I was posing for photos, so we just drove 10 minutes to Tampa Bay Marina and it was the perfect sunny weather. You can see rain drizzle on my other photos :).

Top Handle Furla handbag

I spotted this bag a few months ago in Dillards but it was not on sale. After searching online, I found it cheaper even with the shipping in one of the European online stores – Thelittlegreenbag.co.uk. So, it was not the impulse buy as I  had been looking for a large office bag for almost 5 years. Yes believe it or not but nothing seemed to interest me.

I am a very patient shopper beside the Macy’s dress that I bought at last minute. I usually don’t buy anything at regular price, but always on sale. This bag has a lot of room inside and does have a shoulder strap. It actually holds very well manilla folders. 13-inch laptop and journals. I hope, this bag will be one of my lifelong office bags.  top handle furla black bag

    Such a gorgeous LBD on you. I was just in J. Crew and they had a great selection of dresses! Too funny that you drove 10 minutes and were able to finish your photos without the rain!
