Dress Week: A Dress for Holiday Parties

Dec 3, 2019

For a couple of years now, Reformation has been the biggest thing in dresses.  With high slits, flirty silhouettes, and feminine prints, their wares are certainly lovely (especially this Wildflower dress), but a little pricey.  So when you find a dress that has that Reformation look at a less-than-Reformation-price, you snap it up.

This & Other Stories Satin Midi Dress is fabulous.  The square neckline, the high slit, the puff sleeve — yes, yes, and yes.

As for how to wear it, you can go several directions, but all of them depend on the shoes you choose.  Here are four:

One. High-heeled sandals require dangly earrings and a simple clutch.

Two. A sock boot with tights goes with black hoops and chain crossbody.

Three. Over-the-knee suede boots should have a cool cocktail ring and a killer leather jacket.

And four, a glam mesh sandal with a dramatic earring and a red lipstick.

A word of caution, however, this dress is satin.  So if you’re going to wear tights, you’ll need Static Guard to prevent static cling.

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 […]
