The Find: An Easy Work Dress

Jun 9, 2023

Easy dresses, particularly easy work dresses, are becoming tough to find.  Everything has cutouts.  So many cutouts.  And even when a dress doesn’t have cutouts there’s a large, exposed zipper or a too-deep v-neck or a slit up to there.  All I want is a dress I can wear to work on Monday without thinking about it.  A professional throw-on.

This is such a dress.

The v-neck is not too deep.  The slits are not too high.  The whole look is tailored, but relaxed.  Nordstrom has given us this Shortsleeve Sheath because it loves us and wants us to be happy.  They have also give it to us in inclusive sizing.

I was so excited to see this dress, not just because it’s reasonably priced, but because it has waist tailoring.  Which, once you’ve had a baby, you respect in a whole new way.  I ordered mine to the store so I can have it properly tailored, that’s how serious I am about this particular sheath dress.

    Bought it. I appreciate the length here. And the slit prevents it from being dowdy.

    I love the look of this! What close-toed comfortable work shoes would you pair with it?

    • Belle says:

      Any non-ankle strap heel. The midi length makes the ankle strap slice your leg line in a strange place.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

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 […]
