Friday Frocks for August

August 21, 2020 · In: Size Inclusive Favorites, Style, Women

THE Amazon Nightgown Dress (I definitely wear it outside of bed regularly!)

Something about quarantine has me hopping back in time to fifth grade English when we had to compose poetry about our favorite things. In that spirit I dreamed up a Limerick that is timely and from my house dress loving heart.

There once was a House Dress in my closet,

Yeah, I have 25, what of it?

They’re flowy and free,

Not to mention easy,

so 25 more I shall get!

A House Dress Limerick, Grace Hamlin age 10 age 33

The dress is having a moment – but hasn’t it always? I mean is there a better piece of clothing out there? All you need is one great dress and you can be ready for anything! I am sure the women who fought to wear pants would be upset about this post, or maybe not because the whole point is that we all get to wear whatever we want and for me that is a dress!

So much time at home has propelled the “house dress” to the top of search inquiries and I for one am thrilled at this trend of putting on a pretty and comfy dress each day, even if I am leaving my home a bit more than I used to.

So here are some frocks I currently have coming to my closet or at least have my eye on! Happy shopping with the styles below, if you hover your mouse on top you should be able to shop the links! May you find the perfect house (or out of the house) dress for yourself!

- no thanks, I'll have water I guess - sometimes - no thanks, I'll have water I guess 
- sometimes I feel so ill from them I literally have to leave, even if it's a place I really want to be (๐Ÿ‘€ Homegoods I'm looking at you) 
- loud chewing, smacking, slurping, hiccups, my personal hell 
- immediately I'm panicked, was there an accident or did you see a roseate spoonbill in the yard, please give me context 
- this will send me over the edge because what do you mean I'm already running late and overwhelmed but now I've ripped off my belt loop because I walked too close to the door frame and got caught 

The opposite of a horror movie? Anything I wear from @francesvalentine like this embroidered caftan because they believe in beautifully made pieces and inclusive sizes which is why I've been a customer for years!
