I found this Badgley Mischka dress on the Outnet (so significantly reduced) and it is in a dark teal. Teal is a colour that works well for me, as it matches my eye colour and I have found it hard finding clothing in this colour. I do have a gold lace dress, but that one is less formal than this (as it does not have sequins).

This is a dress will be useful, because I do have to attend work functions that require formal or cocktail dress. Whilst it is not full length, I think I could wear it to a work ball, because many girls do wear cocktail dresses to these events and the sequins do make it more formal than my other cocktail dresses. I do like to wear dresses that are relatively modest to these events, so whilst this dress is form fitting, it is not tight and does not reveal too much.

I also think I can wear it out for dinner, I am catching up with two very glamorous friends next week, so it would be nice to wear for our catch up.

I would really appreciate your thoughts on whether to keep or return this. The Outnet is brilliant with regard to their return policy. I can see at least 3 events this year I can wear it to, so $/wear, it is high (even though it was discounted). The quality, colour etc, make me hope that it has wardrobe longevity.
