1. V for Victory Belted Pencil Dress
When I first saw this dress I was struck by the color and the neckline details. If you want a lovely, comfortable, and professional office friendly dress, consider the V for Victory Belted Pencil Dress in burgundy from Lily Boutique. The wide neckline, simple cut and bold color are fantastic. The mini v-shaped neckline dip is a tasteful and unexpected touch. All that is nice, but the feature that tipped the scale and won my hear are the pockets! Pair this lovely frock with nice heels and minimal accessories. It can be yours for just $32.
2. 2 in 1 Pencil Dress
The 2 in 1 Pencil dress from Dorothy Perkins is a stylish take on the two-tone look. Not only is the dress two-tone but the bodice also has an interesting pattern. I like everything about this dress. The fit is great and the cap sleeves are comfy. The 2 in 1 Pencil Dress also features a knee length hem. If you like this style, try wearing it with a bold pop of color, like red – my favorite! At a mere $27, you can definitely afford some fun accessories too.

The S SLV Dress in Cherry Blossom from Ally Fashion reminds me of one of those fantastic mod dresses of the early sixties that I love.

Nevertheless, this dress is very cute and incredibly simple. The S SLV Dress in Cherry Blossom has a round neckline, fit and flare style, all over print, and exposed zipper with a mini cut length. Plus, it's just $34.99.
