The Find: My Favorite Spot for Summer Dresses

May 20, 2021

As a fashion blogger, I’m not supposed to play favorites.  I’m supposed to treat all the retailers I love equally.  But when it comes to summer dresses, there is one retailer that stands above the rest: Boden.

Boden is my number one source for jersey dresses that you can wear to work and wear on the weekend.  They make wonderful jersey dresses and cotton dresses.  Their dresses typically have sleeves, which is fabulous.  The dresses also come in fun colors and prints.  Here are a few of my favorites from their most recent collection.

If you like striped dresses or striped tops, Boden is your spot.  This Breton dress with puffed sleeves is an excellent example (also in navy).  This short sleeve dress in red or navy is also worth a look.

I love this Nellie dress.  The stretch jersey is super comfortable, and the flippy skirt is a fun, breezy look.  Lots of fun prints on this one, but this red hibiscus is my favorite.

Also, if you’re looking for a pretty, floral dress that is too comfortable for words, this Veronica dress is worth a look.  It is impossibly relaxed and utterly gorgeous in person.  It looks like something you’d wear to sip chardonnay poolside in Carmel in 1964.

    I’m going to Dartmouth for grad school in the fall–might need to snag that green dress!

    LOVE BODEN FOR SUMMER DRESSES TOO. THE AMELIA JERSEY DRESS IS GREAT FOR CASUAL AND WORK. LAST YEAR I ORDERED 2 EFFIE DRESSES FOR STAY AT HOME, SO COMFORTABLE AND COOL FOR SITTING OUTSIDE. I MIGHT NEED THE NELLIE DRESS TOO—ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT THESE DRESSES POCKETS!

    One pro-tip with Boden dresses — If you know your size, I’ve had a TON of luck getting really nice Boden dresses off of Poshmark. I bought three this Spring to be my summer staples and I get endless compliments and scored most of them for less than $50.

    You introduced me to Boden years ago; I’m wearing a jersey maxi from there now! It’s been a lifesaver for my quarantine fifteen.

    FYI I tried on that GORGEOUS Veronica dress – if you’re in between sizes, size up as there’s no stretch.

    They also have great one-piece swimsuits!

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.

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 […]
