Can I wear this outfit to work?

Dress is quite casual but I thought maybe with the tights and belt it would be ok, not sure of the whole look though. Excuse the hair and lack of make-up etc.

I love it- just depends on your work if the dress might be a hair short.

I think you look fantastic- you'd definitely fit in at my office. So long as you think it's long enough for your own work, I say go for it! I love the dress, and the belt- the tights definitely help make it work appropriate.

ok I will give it a trial tomorrow! Some of the skirts my boss wears are on the short to too short side so I think this should be ok, particularly with the opaque tights covering my legs. I might wear my new cream trench over it in the morning, as its been a bit on the cold side in the mornings recently (16-18 degrees lol). Is it ok to wear a coat which is a bit longer than your skirt length? I think this was covered at some point but can't remember. Thanks for the comments.

Sounds like your trench is the absolute perfect length; the rule is to keep your coat at the same length or longer than your dress or skirt. Looks like you're good to go!

Very cute outfit. It looks like it would also look very cute with tall flat black boots, if can get away with a more casual look at work.

I vote yes - the tights provide the extra coverage to make it work-safe!

Wore the dress to work today, I put a black blazer on top, not quite bf style as it is very fitted, but I rolled up the sleeves and put the belt on top with a scarf. I took a pic which I will post later. Thank you for the help as always.

I really like that dress. Where is it from?
I have not worked in an office for a long time but I would say the tights help make it more office appropriate. I think if you just have one or two skirts/dresses on the slight-ly shorter side, in a more relaxed office, as long as you take measures (such as with your tights) to make them more modest, you'll be okay. Not the best sentence structure, sorry.

M2T, I love the dress, and you made it look very work-appropriate. Is it cool enough to wear tights in your area? I'd be curious to see the picture with a blazer - I bet it looks awesome.

It looks great and if it is a more casual office and your supervisor wears shorter skirts, than it is definitely work appropriate. I am also very curious to see it with the blazer.

You could also add boots for more coverage.

Jean - the dress is from Next, I got it a few weeks and so far have it a couple of times with leggings and flats. Marianne - it is only just cool enough for tights. Actually this morning I felt cold so it was perfect. When it got a bit warmer this afternoon I just took of the jacket and had short sleeves which was fine.
here is the picture showing the jacket over it. Hope I get the seal of approval as it has already been worn!! lol!
