Sorority definition of business casual?

[LAblondeGPhi]

To me, the dress looks a little odd with the blazer (it looks like a tube top and too summery), but might pair better with a cardigan.

Other things that work well for business casual:
-Cardigans
-Fitted sweaters
-Pencil skirts
-Trousers / work-appropriate pants
-Many "work-style" dresses: close to the knee, covering up top, A-line or pencil, non-shiny or flashy material

I found some great montages:

I think this is a good mix of ideas. I wouldn't wear that dress in a business casual situation. I agree that it is a bit too summery, with or without the blazer.

I would avoid any pattern that is busier than a stripe. The examples given above are very good.

FYI, since I look horrible in suits, I have several dresses of one color or another, and blazers that compliment them. One of the blazers, and one of the dresses are floral, and since I don't wear them together ( ), they work well.

LAblondeGPhi, I absolutely love the pants outfit with the ivory blazer with black lapels!
