As summer melts into early fall, I start to gravitate towards summery dresses in fall colors like this one from Whistles.
This simple, sleeveless dress is made a little more special by the twist-front neckline. The versatile midi-length will take you right into fall — just swap out your strappy heels or mules for booties and add a cozy cardigan or nubby wool jacket.
The Saoirse Twist Jersey Dress is $239 at Whistles and available in sizes 0-16. In addition to rust, it also comes in black.
Here’s another option in a bright orange-red (as well as both black and blue) on sale for $29.99 at Eloquii in sizes 14-32.

What type of sports/group activities have benefitted your mildly autistic kiddo? Kid is 4 years old.
Has anyone here done iron infusions during pregnancy? How did your body tolerate them? (Assume that they appear medically necessary and food and supplemental options have been exhausted).
Our first grade teacher just told parents the kid will have no homework this year except reading independently for 20 minutes a day. I’m thrilled! In K we had weekly worksheet packets that were a little annoying, but manageable especially since they weren’t due every day. We’d heard that homework ramps up significantly in first grade at our school, but apparently it’s teacher-dependent. Reading practice is the thing my kid needs most, and I don’t think worksheets have much educational benefit, so this seems like a best case scenario. And I’m so glad I can blame it on the teacher when I make my kid practice reading ;)
Does anyone have (recently-purchased) trouser jeans they like? I was thinking about buying a pair for work…most of my work pants are horrendously out of date and this seems like a way of leaning into the wide-leg thing without looking sloppy.
Gifting question: we’ve had a babysitter 3 days per week this summer for our 2 young kids and she’s been great. I’ve been paying her cash weekly but want to give her something extra at the end. Should I just give more cash? Gift card? Physical gift?
last year we bid on a party at this local play place at our school auction. it was incredibly inexpensive for what i was getting and the money would be going to the school and i thought we could use it for a back to school party for all of the girls in my twins classes. well literally a week after i scheduled the party and sent the invite the place announced it is closing. i don’t really want to host 20 kids and their parents at my house, but i also feel badly canceling the gathering. we have a huge backyard, but it is 100 degrees where we currently live, so not an option right now. this is not their bday party or anything so i don’t really want to spend a lot of $ on some alternate venue. is it rude to postpone til it’s cooler and I can host people outside? do i suck it up and have 40 people over?
For the mom yesterday who was looking for cute clothes for a tall 8 year old, you might see if any of these brands are available to you: wheat, name it, hust & claire, loud + proud, smafolk, maxomorra
I can personally only speak for the boys‘ clothes, but the quality is terrific. The aesthetic is a bit different from Boden, but they do have whimsical and cute dresses. The kids sizes also go up to 164 cm, which is like 5‘4.5″ I think.
