I got this same style in a different print (the oversize black/cream/gray-green floral), and while I like it a lot, I would definitely not market it as "from desk to dinner." In general I'd say I dress on the body-conscious side, even for work, but as soon as I tried this on, I knew it'd never be seeing the inside of my office, unless smothered under a long, high-buttoning cardigan. The neckline is just a raw edge that's rolled under, not stitched or faced, so it's rather loose and tends to stretch and sit low. It's also very wide, which can reveal bra straps. I wore it to a holiday party the other day, and I put on a black low-sweetheart-necklined top underneath it, for warmth. Every time I glanced down, the neckline of the dress was half an inch lower than the top's, which I also consider too low for the office. I tugged it up from time to time, but it's just plain low.

The skirt, meanwhile, is decidedly wiggle-enhancing. Maybe that works in your office; in mine, I'd feel uncomfortable.

So although it's a definite keeper--flattering and sexy, hitting my bf's favorite highlights!--I wouldn't call it versatile. Never mind the office; I'd think twice about wearing this to a family event. This dress says, quite loudly, "I am trying to look sexxxay." If that's what you're looking for, go *on* with your bad self, girl.
