Tailored Shirt Dress (Asos, $89)
If I buy this dress (and I’m seriously considering it), I’m going to do two things. 1) I’m going to size up and have it altered because I’ll want the top snug and a little room in the skirt. 2) I’m going to have the fly (why it’s even there is beyond me) sewn down so that it doesn’t pucker.
A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.
Welcome to the warm weather months. Outside, you will roast. Inside, you will freeze. The air conditioning will be your constant nemesis, as it “conditions” the air to a temperature that is primarily suitable for men. Luckily, this cardigan can keep you warm even when your fiery resentment wanes.
Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]

This week has been an absolute bear, so let’s reach into the reader mail bag and answer some questions. And let’s start with a post about affordable summer bags.
This is my favorite color! WOW…so difficult to find.
Gorgeous!! Looking at the model from the back though, I can only imagine what my booty would look like in this =( haha
can i advise against purchasing this? everything I have ever bought from ASOS is absolute crap
That is a gorgeous color. But, like Katie said – what is going on with the models butt? If she's straining the fabric, I'm not sure there's any hope in getting my butt (that runs on around 2 sizes bigger than my top) to look nice without basically ripping the whole dress apart and starting over.
