Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Spring in the Northeast this year has either been cold and rainy or unseasonably warm and sunny, with very little in between. I’m prepping for the extra warm days by grabbing some work-appropriate dresses that will keep me cool when I step out into the sunshine.
This gauzy shirtdress from Banana Republic Factory will look beautiful layered under a blazer, but the bright red color and breathable fabric are perfect for summer lunches in the park.
The dress is $91at Banana Republic Factory — with 20% off at checkout — and comes in sizes XXS-XXL, XST-XLT, and XXSP-XLP. It also comes in “transition cream” and “oceana.”

Does anyone collect ginger jars? They seem pretty and a way to add some blue / white elements to a room (vs the jaundiced yellow vase given to me once). Is there anything to be aware of other than just get what moves you? I take it that they are just decorative now and not otherwise used for anything.
Manufactured ones are everywhere – like you can’t swing a cat in a Homegoods without taking out a small army of them – are you talking about collecting antiques?
