The Find: A Pretty Dress of Summer

Jun 13, 2022

I do a lot of window shopping for this blog.  And one of the things that I am always on the lookout for is what I like to call the “throw on” dress — a dress you can put on with no effort and look stunning in.  This is one of those dresses.

I adore the floral print on this Velvet Heart dress.  It has a cute puff sleeve that isn’t so voluminous it will overwhelm your frame.  And the flouncy skirt is a fun look for summer.

I would wear this dress to brunch, on a relaxed date (with flat sandals), or to a lunch with friends.  It’s the kind of dress that I would put on when I was running late to look like I had all the time in the world to get ready.

The Velvet Heart brand also makes this print in a drop waist dress.  And this chambray utility dress would be a great dress for casual Friday or a fun trip (wear it with cute sneakers).

    Can’t wait for the rufflepuff trend to end. This one is OK as they go, but who wants to look like an eight year old Laura Ingalls WIlder?

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.
