I bought this dress to wear to work to break up my usual work outfit look (which is usually an Adidas track suit or various jumpsuits). I work in a business we have long hours and temperature changes. I like my clothing to be fun, functional, stylish, and easy to care for. This dress is great: it's oversized, has pockets (yay!) can be layered on worn by itself. I've worn it with leggings & a tee underneath, or by itself. Simply design.Also travels well! I had it hemmed as I wanted the length to be above my calves.
