It’s described as an occasion dress but it has a matching jacket www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_54510+204141185_-1 and together I. Think it makes quite a cute suit? www.phase-eight.com/fcp/product/phase-eight/jackets/annie-jacket/900859185
Other thing I’m toying with is this

I would definitely wear the dress for work, but personally not with the cropped jacket. I think that's a bit weddingy (even though the colour of the dress/jacket isn't!). The Hobbs jacket is lovely though.

If you buy a brown jacket from a different make it won't be the same colour. You either need to properly match it or go for something very different. I'd buy a black jacket or cardi instead.

Sorry I’ve not been clear The cropped jacket is the same make @purpledaisies if I got the Hobbes one it’d be to go with the Hobbes skirt to wear as a suit as yes impossible to match! www.hobbs.co.uk/product/display?productID=0217-7493-9044L00&productvarid=0217-7493-9044L00-MULBERRY-14

I do have a black jacket but I just fancied a matching option for super smart days
Thanks @battyoldbat and @hellywelly10 - I did fear that may be the case! Dunno whether to go for the Hobbes suit or keep searching....

I like the dress but much prefer the Hobbs as a suit

I think it depends on how formal your job/office is ..... my job involves some super smart meetings and I'd wear the dress jacket combo for that kind of the meeting, dress with a cardigan on other days ......

It is quite smart @shylo - I generally wear a jacket rather than cardi. So essentially at the moment I have a black jacket and skirt, pink jacket, black dress and some other dresses and match it up a bit. But I feel like I could do with another suit to add in to the equation and also for super smart days....
