LACE DRESS WITH SLEEVES
I am thrilled to be bringing you a look today that will work for you in a wide variety of settings. I know a lot of us are on budgets and we want our clothing to be affordable, practical, and memorable. Chadwick’s of Boston is a store whose clothing fits all of those criteria. I fell in love with the brand many years ago when I worked in an accounting office and needed to dress professionally. The classic styles the Chadwick’s of Boston offered worked perfectly for an office setting.
When you are just starting out on your own, a clothing budget is necessary. I wanted to purchase clothing that I knew would work for me in the office setting but I also needed to be able to wear them for other occasions. Most importantly, I needed the clothing to last me for several years so quality was very important. That is when I first found Chadwick’s of Boston and started buying from them regularly. I was able to transform my teenager wardrobe into a young professional wardrobe fairly quickly and still stay within my budget.
This Short Sleeve Lace Overlay dress in royal blue is a dress that I can wear many times. My first thought when I selected this dress was that it would make a beautiful Easter dress. A date night out with Joe is going to be another way that I will get to wear my dress. Also, I think this dress will be perfect anytime I attend a party that calls for cocktail apparel.
This dress has a lace overlay over a lining in a matching color. I like that the lining is shorter than the overlay giving you a nice detail of lace at the hem. Also, the sleeves are not lined and the lace really stands out. The scoop neck feature is very flattering and will work with any length of necklace you choose. The hemline hits right above the knee which is a perfect length for most occasions. I saw in some reviews that they thought this dress ran small but I ordered my normal size for a dress, which is a 12, and it fits perfect.
I think this is the fifth time I have worked with Chadwick’s of Boston. One of the reasons I have worked with them multiple times is because I believe that they offer quality clothing at prices that are affordable. I want to make sure that anyone who follows my blog can have the opportunity to look nice without breaking their budget. Chadwick’s of Boston has this philosophy,
“We pride ourselves on providing you with a selection of exceptional apparel that fits your lifestyle – from career suiting separates and comfortable leisurewear to flattering dresses and chic outerwear, in sizes that range from misses to petite, tall and plus sizes.”
