Throwing on a structured blazer over a short or midi sweater dress instantly makes the outfit office-ready
In general, smart casual means you should be less formal than a two-piece suit, but more formal than old blue jeans and a t-shirt
You can use any shape you'd like, I just like how the dressing get trapped in between the coils of rotini pasta
Whether you need something with sleeves for a chilly summer night, love moody colors like I do, or want a palette that transitions into fall, this smocked dress under $200 fits the bill
