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.

    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!

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.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
