We’re getting extremely graphic this week for our Item of the Week. Alice & Trixie’s Pamela Dress in a gorgeous black and white print is perfect for the Summer. The ruffled one shoulder dress is ultra feminine, sophisticated and sweet and perfect the many events you’re most likely to attend during the week. The midi length frock is cinched at the waist with a removable belt, which means you can switch out your favorite colored belt for more versatility. The Alice & Trixie Pamela Dress retails for $275 and is one of the pieces in your closet you’ll wear over and over again. It can also serve as a transition piece in the Fall paired with tights, booties or knee high boots and blazers or sweaters.
Kick start your week in style and show your boss you mean business with a boardroom ready look. Even though Summer work wear is a bit more casual, it’s more appropriate to look a more sophisticated and put together. Instead of wearing a sweater to your client meeting, opt for a tailored blazer and chunky accessories like the Insect collar from Lanvin, which gives the Alice & Trixie Pamela dress a more tribal look without being so overt.

Don’t let a little bit of rain stop you from looking chic for work during the Summer.
