Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Scuba Dress

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

When I was first starting my career, I found a Calvin Klein dress at Macy’s that fit me perfectly, so I bought it in three colors.

I wore the heck out of those dresses in my junior associate years when I was still trying to figure out what on earth “business casual” meant in a white-shoe law firm. (And what it meant in 2010 is very different from what it means today!)

In any event, I still recommend Calvin Klein for building a work wardrobe on a budget, and this scuba crepe fit-and-flare is just begging for someone to buy it in all six colors. I really like the meadow green, but you can also grab black, navy, and gray basics. 

The dress is $49.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes 2-14.
