...At Plum Clothing (various locations), salesperson Jenna Roze at the 12th and Granville store was quick to point out the many lives of one puff-sleeved mid-thigh style with a deep-cut neckline front and back. On its own for evening, she said, "tank or tube underneath for day, or over leggings". Not bad for $59, and strong shades of red, purple, or emerald (plus black) to play around with. Just because a dress is bare up top doesn't mean you have to show more skin than you want to. A short-sleeved wrap dress ($95) in scarlet, chocolate, or black can be layered over a tank to raise its neckline to office level, says Roze, while a wide-strapped dress ($69)–colour choices black or royal purple–has a gorgeous draped bodice that "makes everyone look like a goddess". A movie goddess, in the case of one look from Plum's in-house designer, Claudia Agusti, who has you channelling Brigitte Bardot in 1950s Saint-Tropez. Part of the new Simone line, it's in a breezy, soft turquoise or caffe latte, trimmed with black lace, embroidery, and velvet straps to give it grown-up punch ($135).
