The Find: My Favorite Summer Dresses

May 12, 2021

These Daily Ritual dresses are an item I feel like I promote too much.  But they’re just that good.

I came back from Montana one size bigger.  I needed to develop a plan for getting back in shape after Session, and I needed to figure out how I would dress in the interim.  So I bought four Daily Ritual dresses in the bigger sizes and called it a day.  I spent less than $125, and will be good to go until I can fit into my other clothes again.  Problem solved.

If you’re going to buy a dress (or dresses) from Daily Ritual, I recommend sticking to their Lived In line.  The cotton is a good weight.  They’re not sheer.  And they wash and wear beautifully.

This short sleeve maxi dress is my go to.  The side vents keep it cool even on hot days.  I layer on a casual jacket in chilly weather.  It’s the easiest dress in the world.

I also picked up one of their shorter roll-sleeve dresses and a relaxed-fit crewneck dress.  I plan to wear these with sneakers or sandals.  I can dress them up with a long necklace or layer on a long cardigan for sitting around my office.

If you need basic t-shirt dresses for summer that won’t break the bank, these are the ones to choose.  I love them.  I would say I own too many of them, but what is too many when you wear them all the time?

    Amen. These are the best summer dresses out there. I have “too many” but I literally don’t want to wear anything else. 🙂

    I lived in two of these for my pandemic summer last summer (alternated with linen cotton joggers). They have held up beautifully and I am now mixing in with other maxi dresses for my second covid summer at home.

    Has anyone had luck with these on a postpartum body/with a belly pooch? I would love these to work but I’m afraid they’re just going to highlight the parts I prefer not to.

    I bought three of the maxi-dresses based on your recommendation. I’m going back for three more. They’re great!

    Ugh I wish these came in petite sizes for those of us who are short! Anyone have any recommendations?

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
