A new work classic - M.M. LAFLEUR

I recently reconnected with an old friend and she was telling me about a new designer's trunk show that she was going to which struck my fancy, because... well duh, shopping and supporting local small businesses makes me happy.

Anyway, I stopped by M.M. LAFLEUR's truck show on Saturday and really just fell in love with the concept of throwing out your pantsuit and getting yourself into a work dress.  I'm not going to go into details about the company because you can just read about it on their blog, but I will tell you that I'm anxiously awaiting their online retail opening so that I can virtually try on more dresses and have others recommended to me.

I did snag this gorgeous black dress on Saturday since it was a sample.  The elbow length sleeves with the split cuff and the split collar that isn't too revealing was right up my alley.  The jersey knit is comfortable and really holds its shape while not being too warm.  I can see this being a 3-season dress for me and one of the staples that I throw into my suitcase on my transatlantic flights.

Today I paired it with a super long pearl necklace and my superfluity pink heels.  They're currently available in ivory on BHLDN for an additional 40% off, read $72!

Stay tuned for other M.M. LAFLEUR outfits because I'm sure I'm not even nearly done with this brand.
