Styling a floral dress for the office can be both fun and versatile. A floral dress is perfect for various occasions from casual outings to more formal events. Here I am wearing a pretty Summer 1950’s swing dress that features purple flowers with a capelet detail. It also has a front keyhole self-tie that makes it look a bit more elegant. It was a huge hit at the office today and many people wanted to know where I got it! Great to wear for a gathering, birthday celebration or a day party. Inside I also share some tips on how to style a floral dress…
