Morning Line: April 8

Aqua Draped Sleeve Sweater ($59) // Teardrop Pendant ($49) // Envelope Sheath Dress ($150)

Layered dresses are a hot trend right now, so I thought I would recreate that look with a boxy sweater over a sleek, fitted sheath.  Wearing a sweater over a fitted dress is also a great way to go from day-to-night after work.  Just lose the sweater before you head out.

Two comments: 1) This sweater is much (MUCH) cuter in person.  The color is brighter aqua, and the side vents make it a fun, breezy piece.  2) This dress is not the ideal choice for this.  Banana Republic is selling a knee-length, racerback sheath in both white and navy, but they’re not selling it online.  If you’re looking for something ideal, this Mallory from Jones New York is a better choice.

Looking for something similar in plus-size? Try this Kasper sheath and this cropped pullover from Target.

    Why is the dress not ideal? I’m guessing the asymmetrical hemline? I like the layering idea, though.

      The length is a little shorter than I’d like. It’s a 35″ hem, knee-length is usually 37 or 38.

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.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

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 Mondays: July 22, 2024

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 […]
