Colour Shift Dress (Topshop, $60)
Shift dresses like this one are perfect for summer. They’re also perfect for traveling because you can dress them up or dress them down. And, as an added bonus, if you put on a couple of pounds, the dresses are roomy enough to hide your secret addiction to cheesburgers and fries.
What? Don’t pretend it’s just me.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
I've been loving this shift dress I have from Lands' End – a similar style to the one posted, but knit, so it's wonderful for traveling – no ironing necessary, ever! I've been wearing it once a week lately. On sale for $34.99 right now, too!

I'll be coming back to see your thoughts on how to wear this. My wife bought a shift dress that she loves but feels that she can't wear it anywhere because it rides up so far when she sits down.
How would you style that when you are hourglass with extra minutes? (my new favorite way to describe my body type) I am afraid it would instantly add more pounds than all the cheeseburgers I ever had.
Belts never seem to work because my midsection is so small that they just create all kinds of weird bulges and folds.
I have a similar (sheath) dress I had taken in around the waist but then it's not so roomy anymore.
Boy, it's a tough life, hahahaha.
That dress is so pretty from the front but the giant black zipper on the back is horrible! Why did they have to ruin a perfectly good dress???
UB: This is probably not your best shape. Hourglass figures look best with a defined waist.
Chris: If she's concerned about length, maybe she could add a strip of fabric around the bottom in a contrasting color? That way she'd get a colorblock look. I have a black shift with a white block around the bottom, and I get a lot of compliments on it.
J: I kind of like it, but I would like it better if it were navy instead of black. But it's not for everyone.
How does the sizing run with Topshop dresses? Love the green shift.
Smeeshu: I've found with other dresses that it can run a little small, but I'm not sure since this is a more forgiving cut.
I've been eyeing this dress. It looks like a great find! 🙂
