Tory Burch Judi Contrast Print Dress ($425)

Since this has turned into a posting day filled with dresses, I thought that I would add one more.

I love this dress.  I love it so much that I just had to share it.  I love it so much that I searched online for three hours in the hopes of finding to comparable pieces for a 10th Commandment feature and could find nothing.  I was crushed.

So now I have shared my adoration, and my bitter disappointment.

    Love that! I almost bought it on Rue La La the other day for 1/3 of the price but just couldnt justify spending that kind of money, even at the discount.

  2. Belle says:

    It was on RueLaLa? Damn. Now I need to take their daily emails out of my spam filter.

  3. E says:

    If you really like it and you'll wear it a couple times a month, it's worth $400. I wouldn't spend that kind of money on something super trendy, but this dress is more of a high-quality wardrobe staple.

  4. Betsy says:

    I love it, too, but for that kind of money, I'd need to be able to wear it to work. Could I do that? In a (small) state Capitol?

  5. E says:

    Betsy – I don't know what Belle would say, but this dress would be fine in my DC law office, which is likely more formal than a small state capitol. I'd pair it with a white or bright jacket for meetings and without a jacket for normal days at the office.

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
