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.
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.
Great solutions! Thank you.
Happy Birthday, Abra! Thank you for always being my favorite blogger- real talk, heartfelt realities, and great taste. I wish you peace and contentedness. From a woman 10 years older than you, but appreciates your willingness to share your wisdom and your truth.
I love this dress! I have it in three other colors!
Happy Birthday Abra!
