The Find: A Sleeveless Dress That I Love

May 31, 2023

As you know, I have a bias toward sleeves.  I want my arms covered so I don’t have to wear a jacket all the time.  But every now and again, a dress comes along that makes me rethink this position.  A dress so stylish I wonder if I might be willing to occasionally wear something sleeveless.  This is such a dress.

I told you, this Belted Lapel Flare Dress from Ann Taylor is so chic.  It reminds me of the early days of MM LaFleur when you’d rush to the new arrivals section because you needed that Tory, and you needed it now.  This dress runs XXS to XL and is also available in petite.

If you like a sleeveless dress, I envy you, because AT has a lot of lovely choices right now.  I like this square neck, cotton dress in navy.  This flare dress in a fresh blue for summer.  And this belted dress with a ruffle sleeve detail that perfectly blends cute and elegant.

    Love this choice! And can easily transform to cover your arms by wearing an underlayer so pretty versatile too.

    What blazer or cardigan and color would you wear with this dress pictured?

  3. Kate says:

    Love the dress in theory but the reviews were pretty bad. I notice that a lot of your picks come from Ann Taylor but often times, they have not so great reviews.

      I don’t pay much attention to the AT reviews. I can’t recall ever seeing an item with universally positive reviews.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
