Actually. Finding a good summer day dress for work is hard.

Especially with my rules.

I’ve started searching overseas now (even though the northern hemisphere is going into winter).

For example, this dress fails the dry-clean only rule (plus I can’t imagine leather sleeves would be fine in the middle of summer):

Another fail…  black (again. yawn) and probably too short (at piperlime):

Things I’ve learnt:

• When you see a good day dress, grab it. They are rare.
• This is why I end up wearing black all the time.
