Oh, the fitted sheath dress! Perfect for a day at the office or a night on the town. On a recent trip to Crossroads Trading Co., I found this fabulous grey dress and I couldn’t wait to get home and style it.

Grey is one of my favorite neutrals and honestly, to me, it’s the new black! It goes with everything and is a bit more of a summer friendly color than black is, yet it’s still conservative enough for the office. I was most excited to style this for “after hours,” adding some edge with this spike necklace, dark lips and some color block strappy sandals. With such a bulky necklace, a smaller earring is a must for balance.

I can’t lie, I was definitely feeling sassy in this dress! While I styled it for happy hour and a mixer, if you’re wearing this type of dress to the office, it’s easy to throw on a standard black pump and a black blazer if you have a meeting. Depending on what type of office setting you work in, it may be best to leave the necklace off and add it on before you jet out to your post-5pm appointment. 🙂

So, can we talk about how I struck GOLD at Crossroads with finding the dress AND the shoes? This dress is originally from Anthro and I got it for a steal of deal ($14 at the Stockton outlet location), and these brand new Chinese Laundry heels ($16 at the Roseville location) sealed it. That’s why I love Crossroads. They handpick the season’s best so that we can have first dibs at a fraction of the price. Worried they don’t have your size or style? There is seriously something for everyone: the hipsters, the conservatives, the classics, the glammys (yes, I made that up), the bohos – you name it! And they’re quality items, too, with the inventory changing daily.
