Layering to make a casual dress work appropriate

I love when I have a new found love for items that have been pushed to the back of my closet. This cardigan is one of those items. I've had this Velvet by Graham & Spencer cotton drape front cardigan for years. I love the deep shade of pink and it's light weight material is perfect for warmer days when you need to coverup an outfit that might not be totally appropriate the way it is. I layered this over a grey cotton dress which is great for the weekend but might not be the most work appropriate. Wearing the drape front cardigan belted over the grey dress and nude sandals makes it perfectly office appropriate!
