The Range: Spring and Summer Dresses

Mar 10, 2021

Montana has six seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Fool’s Spring, and Second Winter.  Essentially, Fool’s Spring is a handful of days in late February or early March when it feels like spring, but there are probably a few weeks of snow still ahead of us.  But this fleeting glimpse of good weather has made me long for warm, sunny days…and the dresses that go with them.

Corner Office

The Cubicles

    Ditto MN. Yesterday 64 and all the snow here is gone, as we start the descent back towards freezing…..

  2. Hh says:

    Any recs of type(s) of bras to wear with dresses with backs like these? Love all of these, but I think my regular bras would show.

  3. Amy says:

    I feel like the period right after fake spring should just be called smud season, or as we jokingly refer to it ‘lousy Smarch weather’ courtesy of the Simpsons. Chilly, damp, muddy, with some heavy wet snow that won’t stick for long interspersed with bright, sunny, fake out days for ~4 weeks before ‘real’ spring. Ugh.

  4. Michelle says:

    While we never go back to full winter, in Northern Virginia it’s been 70 degrees the past two days. But tomorrow we move back to 50’s as the high with close to freezing temperatures as the low.

    I’ll be honest, I prefer the 50 degrees. I ran in sunny 70 degrees and was not prepared for how much harder that run was and how much more dehydrated I was.

  5. Niki says:

    Bless those who can pull this look off. Living in Amish and Mennonite country – that’s all I see when I see these types of dresses! Nothing wrong with that, just makes me chuckle a bit.

    • E says:

      I like to think more, Italian peasant in a sunny meadow than Amish, lol. 🙂 Although since I live in the rainy PNW and would get about two months of weather where I could wear this dress, it will continue to be a day dream.

    • Seventh Sister says:

      I grew up near Amish country, so yes! The very thing for a teen girl to wear with her black cap for courting!

      Went through a Target recently and could not decide whether the prairie dresses reminded me of Big Love or The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

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 […]
