Summer WFH Items: A T-Shirt Maxi

May 18, 2020

Working from home has definitely changed how I feel about my wardrobe.  It’s not that my office clothing is uncomfortable, but with the current state of things, I need more comfort than my pencil skirts allow.  Enter the jersey maxi-dress.

I own a couple of Daily Ritual’s Jersey Crewneck Dresses, and they’re good.  BUT, but, I just ordered one of their Lived-In Crewneck Dresses, and it is better.

The fabric is more forgiving and a bit heavier weight, which is nice.  The dress comes in 13 colors and patterns.  As for sizing, the dress runs from XS to XXL.  I’m a small size 6 and pear-shaped, so an XS is a hair snug in the hips, which I prefer to the small that is too big in the waist.

These are great throw-on dresses for days when you need something easy that looks nice.  I usually wear mine with a denim jacket with the cuffs and collar turned up and a simple sandal.  Prefer a knee-length dress?  This t-shirt hem dress in the same lived-in fabric is worth a look.

    I’m wearing one right now! Albeit with pink fuzzy slippers…no one on my calls knows that 😉

    I live in DR jersey dresses in the summer anyway, but now more than ever! I can easily throw on a jacket or cardi for a video call (several times a day) and not feel like a schlub.

    Discovered these thanks to you – I’m wearing my black one, and had my olive maxi on over the weekend. They are the best!

    Wearing one right now (grey stripe) with a Barefoot Dreams cardigan! An essential!

    How long does the dress run? I’m 5’1” and wondering if this would be dragging on the floor.

    I lived in this dress last summer, washed and dried it twice a week and it still looks good. I just bought another in a different color a few weeks ago. Truly one of my top 5 purchases of all time.

Saw It On Social: Rooted

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. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

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.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

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.
