Early July is peak summer in D.C. That means relentless heat and humidity morning, noon, and night. For hot and sticky office days, Universal Standard’s soft Pima cotton shirtdress will keep you feeling cool while looking polished.
This light and breathable dress has details like a sharp collar, half-button placket, patch pockets, elbow-length sleeves with button fastenings, and a self-tie belt. Add your favorite desk sweater to combat your office’s aggressive A/C.
This dress is on sale for $129 (originally $172) and comes in sizes 4XS/00-0 to 4XL/38-40. It’s available in two colors, jardin (a dark green) and cenote (a rich blue).

I’d keep all those items but expect the bread and fruit to get moldy more quickly than usual.
Due to a scheduling SNAFU, we had a grocery delivery sit on our porch this morning for about 2 hours (75 degrees out). I threw out the meat and milk, what do you think about the safety of the following items that are generally not refrigerated: bread, apples, raspberries, cereal, bottled protein shakes, bottled coffee drinks?
Happy 4th! Anyone have fun plans? We’re seeing family, swimming, hopefully spending time outside. Ironically we live in DC but never spend the 4th there as the crowds and neighborhood fireworks spook me. Maybe someday!
Eddie Bauer seems to have suddenly shuttered its kids section. I received an email about a sale just two weeks ago, but now the kids section of the site is gone with a weird message. I’m bummed! My oldest son really loved their clothes and pajamas, they had the BEST boys bathing suits (silky liner instead of mesh) and we have been wearing their winter coats for years.
I wonder what happened…and if there’s any items on Amazon or eBay I can snap up.
