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.

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 […]
