I Love This $51 Party Dress So Much, I'm Already Rewearing It to Work

When I'm shopping for an occasion dress like a pretty party style for the holidays, nine times out of 10, I immediately think about how I can rewear it to the office. Does that make me sound like a slave to my job? Maybe! But some of my best outfits are those I wear to work. So I like to know that when I'm buying a new dress, it's versatile enough to be styled in a professional matter.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Why is she rambling about outfit repeating?" Easy! To inspire you to rethink all the party dresses you've no doubt purchased this holiday season (though I'm well-aware that my boss will read this and A-OK with her noting my dedication to my job and maintaining a stylish office wardrobe, wink wink).

One of my favorite party dresses of the season thus far? This Smocked Bodice Midi Dress ($51, originally $68) from our very own POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's. Cute, right?! While perfectly festive in a beautiful shade of teal, this dress has a number of attributes that make it perfect for work.

First, the midi length, my absolute favorite no matter the day, season, or occasion. It's super polished for the office whether worn on its own or layered with a blazer. Second, the gentle puff sleeves. I'm obsessed with this trend, and it's all but slowing down for Spring. Plus, I'm always seeking out unique details to make my office looks a little more fashion forward, and these sleeves do exactly that. Third, the color. I tend toward neutrals most of the time, but this rich shade of green feels more than just tolerable. It's actually so versatile, pairing well with my go-to hues like gray, tan, and black.

With my adoration for this POPSUGAR Smocked Bodice Midi Dress clearly stated, ahead, see how I styled the party-perfect number for a day at the office. Then, to re-create my look on your own, shop my outfit head to toe, including my exact items as well as some affordable alternatives to please every budget.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
