Petite Fashion Challenge #5

This is my first Petite Fashion Challenge and I am really excited! I missed the other 4 due to work schedule or I just couldn't figure out what to put together. This challenge is being hosted by Cynthia from Shorty Stories.
The Challenge:
Create a sophisticated work appropriate look that has no more than one dark piece (it can be a skirt, pants, a blazer, sweater etc...) excluding shoes, accessories and hosiery.

This was hard for me because I have a lot of work appropriate clothes but not in bright colors. I love neutral colors, earth tones, greys and of course pink!  So here is what I came up with.  One of my all time favorite dresses is this coral Cache dress:

My only dark piece is my J.Crew cardigan. How did I do? This is a very typical work outfit for me, dress with cardigan and belt...I know I am boring but it's what I like:) In case you are curious, the Cache dress is super duper old. It literally sat in my closet for years w/out me ever wearing it until I started blogging and found it. I couldn't believe how well it fit and how petite friendly it was. I haven't been back to Cache in years. I have another formal dress from there which is super pretty and also very petite friendly.
