Ikat Print Skirt (Banana Republic, $98)
It’s been awhile since I’ve purchased anything at Banana Republic. (I had a bad experience with a t-shirt. A sleeve fell off while I was wearing it.) But I really adore this skirt.

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.

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.
A sleeve fell off? Curious, how did that happen?
oooh, I seriously adore this skirt. I'm so excited about the two ways this afternoon — perhaps it will induce me to pull the trigger and purchase.
Cg: Well, I was walking down the street, and I noticed a small hole. An hour later, it was a bigger hole. I put on my coat, and when I removed it an hour later, the sleeve was still inside the coat.
Banana Republic has recently stepped it up in my opinion. Their jewelry has also tremendously improved. You should pop in and check it out!
