Pippa Middleton has become a global fashion icon of her own as everything she touches becomes a sellout.  We like how Pippa (along with her royal sis) enjoys wearing some of the more affordable brands to create fashionable looks – including this colorblock frock seen on her last year.  The dress was from Zara and has long since sold out.

We found a similar dress!  This on-trend colorblock sheath dress has a dressy feel that is wonderfully work-appropriate.  The colorblock trend is all the rage right now and this dress will be a breeze to pull off the trend.  A perfect compliment to your spring/summer work wardrobe.

Lighten up the entire outfit by slipping into a pair of matching ivory peep-toe pumps (which is easier than donning white pumps).

Still a little chilly?  Top off the dress with this lightweight cardigan in black (now on sale!).

You can now take 25% off all dresses and receive free shipping on all orders at karenmillen.com (offer ends 4/22)!  Whether you are looking for a classy sheath dress or a vibrant colorblock dress, there are plenty to choose from. 

Our favorite frocks include – Tribal Print Dress, Cotton Shirtdress, Signature Print Dress, Colorblock Dress with Lacing, Glamorous Jersey Dress and Colorful Draped Dress.

Actress Kate Beckinsale was recently photographed wearing this gorgeous Twist Front Matte Jersey Dress by Michael Kors.  With the feminine detail and the comfortable fabric, twist front (knotted) dresses can be your perfect go-to dress for work.  Put on a tuxedo blazer and a pair of nude pumps – the look is office-ready.  Grab a clutch, slip into a pair of vampy heels for after-work affairs.

The thing we love about the shirtdress is that you can easily dress it up or down – go casual with flats or business with pumps.  This Ruched-Sleeve Shirtdress in black is versatile and can be a go-to piece for your fall wardrobe.  It would be amazing paired with tights and boots.

A classic shirtdress is a perfect addition to your workwear lineup and really is an absolute must for a professional wardrobe.  One doesn’t have to fuss about putting a complete outfit together when you slip on a shirtdress.  It can easily go from casual to dressy for work and beyond depending on the accessories.  Wear alone in spring/summer and it’s just as fabulous layered under a blazer or coat in fall/winter.  There are plenty of wonderful shirtdresses available from shops like Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Asos that will fit your style needs and personal taste.

We were swooned by this Navy Button-Through Shirtdress by Jason Wu.  The slightly flared skirt contrasts the tailored top beautifully, in an irresistible navy hue.  This flattering silhouette will look chic on just about anyone by emphasizing the waist and hiding problem areas.  Cinch with a belt for a dressier look.

Although the dress was love at first sight, the price is not so.  Regardless of the designer brand, shelling out $835 for a dress is a bit surreal (not a wedding dress, a shirtdress!).  We had to find a budget-friendly yet similar version since most of us can’t afford Jason Wu.

Rest assured, there is the Roma Shirtdress by T-Tahari.  Again, the flared skirt is forgiving while the sleek top gives the dress an elegant look.  We couldn’t help but notice how clean the dress is, perhaps because there are no buttons or a collar.  All you need is a pair of pumps to rock this dress!  Available for $128 at Norstrom or Macy’s.
