Since Sloane was born, I feel like I am constantly reordering my priorities. What gets my attention today? How much time do I have? Is there extra energy for something more than the basics?
A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.

In my haste I read the title of post as “best and worst picks from the rack” and thought that this is great – a reminder of what NOT to wear! With covid, motherhood and full time job I could use a reminder of what should be retired (rough edge skinny jeans? tailored foxcroft shirt? 3in pumps? Ankle length tapered pants?)
I recall a few posts on refreshing old styles, where you shared a picture from a decade ago and would point out how to refresh it for today. Loved those!
