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

Faithfull the Brand Maurelle Dress

The Cubicles

Free People Ain’t She a Beaut Dress

    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.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

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.

The Range: A Business Look from Boden

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

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 […]
