It snowed Friday. It didn’t stick, thank heaven. But the winter has been endless. So I need to think spring-summer thoughts with some poplin shirt dresses.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
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.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!

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.
I just ordered this shirtdress from J.Crew during their most recent sale: https://www.jcrew.com/p/shops/40offselectstyles/dresses/tiewaist-shirtdress-in-endonend-cotton/J5419?color_name=peri
I’m wondering, with shirtdresses like this, would you use the belt it comes with or swap it out for a different belt?
I always struggle with wrap or other dresses that come with a matching belt whether its better to use that one or change it up.
I typically swap it out for a wider belt with more structure. It cleans up the look.
There’s still snow on the ground here in Chicago- I busted (back) out my real boots and gloves again yesterday. It seems like it’ll be ages til we get to wear any of these gorgeous dresses!
I got caught without boots in Milwaukee this weekend as several inches of snow slush accumulated. I know spring is coming, but I can’t quite believe it yet.
Looks like the NA-KD is sold out in every size. 🙁
the eloquii dress is see-through. gorgeous, but clear as a windowpane. just a heads up for those wanting to give it a shot.
That’s sad to hear.
