I’ve been seeing a lot of this gorgeous popsicle red color this season and it makes me smile every time. This sleeveless top from M.M. LaFleur looks like a great lightweight option for layering under blazers this summer. The pleating at the neckline gives it a slightly more elevated look than a plain cotton shell and the slightly blousy fit looks breezy and elegant.
The top is $139 at M.M.LaFleur and comes in sizes XS-XXL… but you can use code CORPORETTE15 to bring it down to $118.

Does it seem fishy to anyone else that Trump-backed candidates always win? I swear they’re cooking the books even in small races to make everyone bend the knee.
No it doesn’t seem fishy to me – so far they’re winning primaries but not doing very well in general elections. The Republican party has been taken over by MAGA. If you’re not a MAGA fanatic, there’s no room for you in the party. So it’s pretty logical they would sweep primary elections.
Yes, this exactly. Primaries generally select for the extremes on both sides, and in the Republicans right now that means MAGA.
I have no doubt they’re cooking the books – they’ve said as much and have the power and motivation to pull it off, plus the plausible deniability. Always believe the dictator’s promises.
Are there any queen-size sofa beds that are actually comfortable? We have a room that is an office most of the time but occasionally needs to host guests. It’s small and we’d rather not have the space taken up by a queen 100% of the time. If we could find a good sofa bed that we wouldn’t feel the need to apologize about it, that would be awesome. Only requirement is no flame ret@rdants.
We have the CB2 lubi daybed and use a soft topper on it for guests. My parents slept on it for a month with no complaint. It turns into a king, not queen.
I find Murphy beds way more comfortable than sofa beds as the mattress doesn’t need to fold up on creaky springs.
