You shouldn't let cold, rain or other nasty weather frighten you out of your dress and into some pants. Dresses are wearable always, especially if you have a lovely trench to keep you warm.

So I suggest you invest in some winter-appropriate dresses, like the Eva Franco camel floral wool knit 'Margo' wrap dress.

As we all know, wrap dresses are just the perfect outfits, because you can adjust them to your needs. If you are on the plus side of your target weight you just loosen it up a bit and if you're having a skinny week, there's no need to buy new clothes. My dirty little secret is that I always keep a wrap dress handy, together with my slim clothes in my closet, as a part of my self esteem boost program. That way I can pretend that I have at least lost some weight even though my job sucks sometimes.

The Eva Franco 'Margo' wrap dress is made of wool blend which should make it easy enough to clean and wear. The color is perfect for jazzing your work wardrobe up a bit. Available at Bluefly for $213
