Work Dress Week: A Printed Sheath Dress

Apr 27, 2023

My work dress wardrobe has become a bit dark.  Lots of black.  Lots of navy.  So I thought I would add a great print in a work-friendly color palette to liven things up.

This Alexia Admor Abstract Print Sheath is a great piece.  It’s available at both Nordstrom Rack and Kohl’s in different sizes.  Both retailers are charging under-$100 for the piece.  The dress also comes in a handful of solid colors, including a vibrant red.

If you like an abstract of geometric print, check out this dress with elbow-length sleeve and this plus-size wrap dress.  This Donna Morgan shift dress is also worth a look.  Need a plus-size work dress?  This dotted sheath with a tie waist is worth a look.

    Has anyone actually tried on the Alexia Admor dress in person? How is the quality? It looks like it might be cheap and not fit properly, but I can’t tell.

      I have it in red. I found the fabric to be thick enough, though it is a scuba-like texture. I had the zipper replaced after a few wears because it stuck, but I don’t know if that was all the zippers or just that one.

The Beauty Edit: Neck Creams

Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]
