The Great Singapore Sale is on! While some people prefer to shell out a tidy sum of money as an investment, we reckon it’s more economical to snag items when they’re on sale, so you can purchase more for the same amount of money.

And if there’s one thing you should be stocking on this season, it has got to be work outfits – for obvious reasons, i.e. the frequency at which you’ll be wearing them.

Which is why we’ve rounded up some of the prettiest work dresses we found on Zalora at a steal! The multi-label online shopping site is currently having ongoing promo for GSS, including flash sales, a “Buy 3 Get 30% Off” promo for selected bags, shoes and accessories, up to 70% sale for end of Spring Summer season, and dresses for under $40.

Stay tuned to their website for more promos!
