Putting together a great work outfit is always a bit of a challenge, and doing it on a super-trim budget might seem almost impossible. Fortunately, sweater dresses are on trend at the moment, perfectly professional, and can be had for very little at stores like Target (the Merona dress featured here is one of a handful they’ve got in stock right now)—add some look-at-me shoes and cute easy bangles, and you’re good to go. See? Not impossible after all . . .
