Some dresses whisper "old money" the second you put them on — Simone is one of them. Rust knit, pointelle-stitched for texture, trimmed in black scalloped braid with gold buttons down the front — it's the closest thing to a designer tweed set without the four-figure price tag. A pearl-buckle belt cinches the waist and turns a simple knit dress into something with real presence. This is the piece for the woman who dresses for herself first — the client lunch, the gallery opening, the Sunday she actually wants to look put together. Simone doesn't try. It just is. From client walkthroughs to office days that turn into dinner plans, Simone moves the way a working woman needs her wardrobe to — polished enough for a boardroom, elegant enough for whatever comes after. Features Rust knit with pointelle (eyelet) texture throughout Black scalloped crochet trim at neckline, cuffs, and front placket Gold button-front closure Two front patch pockets with matching black trim Removable pearl-buckle belt at waist Short sleeves, crew neckline Fit-and-flare silhouette Perfect For Client lunches · office and work events · gallery openings · fall-transitional daytime looks · brunch with the girls · elevated errands Styling Tips Let the belt do its job — cinch it at the natural waist for the most flattering line. Pair with gold jewelry to echo the buttons, and either flats for daytime polish or a low heel for evening. This one photographs beautifully against warm neutral or terracotta backdrops — lean into the rust tone rather than fighting it.
