The Find: A Sleek Chambray Dress

May 29, 2020

The temperature spiked this week, and while I was very grateful for the sunshine, I was not ready for it to be too hot for leggings.  Thank goodness for dresses.  And this dress from Old Navy is on repeat.

I mean, how cute is this dress?  Old Navy’s cap sleeve chambray dress is adorable.  A little sleeve, a sleek shape, and designed for ease and comfort.  Also in petite and tall.

Plus-size ladies can try this similar tie waist chambray dress from ON.  There’s also a similar maternity dress.  So if you’re looking for an easy, throw-on dress, this might be it.

    Belle – When you wear something like this, and you take the pups out for a walk, how do you stash your keys/phone? Do you take a purse or anything? Dare I ask about ‘fanny packs’? It would seem with all the walking people are doing, that the fashion no-no has another box check for convenience…
    (I’m wearing an old navy t-shirt dress with no pockets as I type this, and will reluctantly take a small purse for my dash to the grocery store.)

      If I’m sans phone I have a house key on a lanyard for walks in the neighborhood. A phone sling might be in my future as well.

      I have a fanny pack from Lululemon that I wear as a crossbody bag. It’s good for dog walking and running around at parks.

        Same! I finally succumbed to the across-the-chest version of the belt bag and it is SO convenient for stashing keys, phone, money/cards, face masks, hand sanitizer, etc. when I walk my dog, go to the farmers market, or run other minor errands.

    • Kelly says:

      I bought a pair of bike shorts with a phone pocket to wear under my pocketless dresses.

      I own this lanyard from Gear Beast when I hike or walk the dogs. https://amzn.to/2Xjcnfk To the store, I usually put on something with pockets like a utility jacket, or I grab a crossbody bag.

How to Wear It: A Summer Shirtdress

A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.

The Beauty Edit: Neck Creams

Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]
