Polka Dot Dress (Mango, $40)

I like to keep a few simple dresses around for mornings when I don’t want to think too hard about what I’m wearing.  Usually, on these mornings, I’ve overslept. Shhh. That’s our little secret.

Check back at 1:00PM for Two Ways to wear this dress.

Look for Less

    it's such a cute dress, but looking at it on the website, it looks incredibly short. 6″ above the knee is much too short for a work dress.

  2. ADL says:

    Love this. And I too have several dresses that are my “easy to throw on” dresses.

  3. Kate says:

    Belle, would a dress like this be ok to wear to a wedding if accessorized properly?

  4. Nina says:

    Belle, can you comment on the length and the sheer-ness of this dress?

  5. Belle says:

    Kate: Depends on the wedding of course. But it would be fine for a casual ceremony in the afternoon.

    Nina: I cannot. But I own two Mango dresses, one is quite sheer (I wear a full slip under it) and one is not. So I think it's hit or miss.

    So cute! Sadly, also sold out in every color…

    I can't tell if this is an elastic waist or a tie belt. Does anyone know?

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
