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!

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
