Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

One of the hardest things about getting dressed in the summer is that the crisp dress that leaves my house at 7:30 a.m. often looks wildly different from the wrinkled mess that returns home at 6:30 p.m. I’m always on the hunt for something that will keep me from looking like a wilted flower by the time I show up at my final meeting for the day, so this shirtdress from Boden really caught my eye. The brand promises that it will not crease, “not on a plane, at a desk, or during after work drinks.”

I’m ready to put this striped colorway to the test, but it also comes in jewel green, pomegranate, and navy. 

The dress is $138-$230 at Boden and comes in sizes 0-20/22.

When I was updating our big roundup for the best brands for comfortable heels, I was so excited to notice that Stuart Weitzman has brought back their 50mm pump. Years ago they had a similar low pump that they called the Poco; I still remember it as being one of the only heels I could wear for a while. (I think pregnancy did a number on my feet!)

In any event — they have a 50mm (2″) heel back and it’s apparently one of their bestsellers. It looks great if you’re looking for a basic workhorse pump.

The shoe is $495, at StuartWeitzman.com; you can also find a few colors at Nordstrom.
