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.

Several of you have sent e-mails and DMs asking for more business casual and casual work attire for women in senior roles and management. Offices are leaving professional attire behind in favor of denim and what one reader described as “dressy workout clothes.” So how do you dress like the boss when you need to […]
Are you tired of Gift Guides, yet? Yesterday, I got one from my accountant. My accountant. And I like Rick, but I am not so hard up for suggestions that anyone will find a one-year subscription to Quicken under the tree. But because how much we love and like people is not determined by how […]
This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss. Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner? In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin. But in my 40s, my skin […]
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! 🙂
