The Range: White Dresses for Summer

Jul 25, 2019

August is almost upon us.  I remember being on the Hill and just counting the days.  Vacations, long lunches, happy hours, working 40-hour weeks.  It felt like bliss.

And in August, I wear white.  The crisp freshness of summer.  The breezy lightness of sunshine.  So let’s talk about white dresses.

    How is the quality on Lark & Ro? I’ve been looking for a simple white dress that I could wear to my (very) casual office in the summers, and this looks good. I only want to buy one that will last many seasons.

      I am also curious about Lark & Ro! This dress is so lovely and simple… though I -really- don’t trust myself with white. I managed to get strawberry juice on two separate white tees in the same weekend, because I’m a messy child who loves drippy fruit.

      To all the Hill readers: congrats on out of session!

    How do you keep your whites “white?” I consider myself a tidy person and have still lost multiple pieces this season to everyday stains (white tees with yellow deodorant marks, linen pants with stains from walking in the sand, etc). I have washed with Oxyclean to no avail.

    • Clara says:

      I don’t think just washing works. I soak my white clothes in hot oxyclean over night then wash and it pulls out 90% of stains.

    • jules says:

      when wearing white shirts I highly recommend using deodorant, not anti-perspirant. You don’t want aluminum in the ingredients, which expedites the yellowing.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
