Martina Emerald Jersey Dress($153)

British retailer Reiss has beautiful things, but, boy, are they pricey.  Luckily, their Outlet store regularly has great sales for stylish pieces.

This emerald green dress is sleek and comfortable (if you want a cocktail look, try this phenomenal emerald dress).  I’d add a belt for structure and a cool bracelet, or a pair of flat sandals and a scarf.

I also love this drape neck ivory dress, which also comes in a rich sable.  This peplum jacket is also a winner, and I lusted over this funnel neck coat all winter, so it might be time to buy it.  I also dig this pleated peplum top and this chunky cable, long cardigan.

Look for Less

    Sign you’re a DCer whose been reading too much Capitol Hill Style for her own good, #17:

    I’m watching a CNN clip just now that everyone’s circulating today of Dana Bash chasing Rep. Bachmann down the hall about some of her CPAC remarks, and the first thing I think is: man, another great emerald-colored dress this morning! Bachmann looks great in green. Love the sleeves.

    Back to work for me.

Monday Morning: December 5, 2023

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. […]

The Counter: The Post-Product Era

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 […]
