Dressing Young 2026

I really like that one. I saw it at Nordstrom, but not in the blue color. It’s a contender to order/try. Thanks

If you like the Maggy London dress in blue, besides the Dillards website, it is available on Amazon and then no shipping fees:

I have a Mac Duggal dress that I got from Nordstrom a couple years ago on sale for about $200. It was a $650 dress. I have worn it a few times and always get so many compliments on it.

I love many of these dresses but I also prefer sleeves—my shoulders get cold bare.

I only searched for sleeveless based on what @1214mom had shown as the two original dresses she had looked into.

Wow great find.

One tip I learned about posting links is to delete everything that starts with and follows “?” or “ref=“ because all of that is just personal identification cookies.

Most of the time it looks like gibberish, but I recall once someone posted something that had their email clearly embedded in the gibberish!

Thanks @BunsenBurner

I’m going to retry sharing the original Nordstrom suggestions that @1214mom said she could not open, using your “method!”

I feel like someone was recently looking for athleisure type pants that were not leggings - I love these! Title Nine (not wide) Barrel pants

Those look nice. I very likely have lipedema and I’m going to try compression to see if I can reduce the swelling in my one leg. I presently wear Athleta Salutation tights to the gym. The therapist suggested I wear compression when I exercise and I don’t think they will fit under my leggings. I haven’t received them yet but I’m assuming I’ll need to find pants that fit the compression sleeve or stockings underneath. Do you find the fleece warm when your heart rate goes up?

I also think I’m going to need to find some denim jeans that hide the stocking. My favorites are all cropped.

I worry about doing something like that!

I can see them all now - thanks.

I like those, and I’ve had good luck with Title Nine. I’ve ordered mostly shorts and shirts.

I can’t remember but I think you might be in California?

Those fleece lined pants will be too warm.

I’ve found if I have a pair of jeans I like, I can find the same style in a full length. They are pretty trendy right now.

For instance I have a pair of Collette jeans from Anthropologie. They come in a cropped and a full length.

The other thing is the cool kids wears socks with their cropped jeans. I think everything goes anymore if you wanted to try socks and sneakers with the cropped jeans

Well, I whiled away a quite a bit of time figuring out dresses I MIGHT want to buy for the two weddings we are likely to be invited to for two of my nephews this October. Since Amazon has free shipping & returns, so far I have only checked that site.

I’m also trying to curb my shopping. So far, so good. But there is a pair of boots I really like… but not enough to derail my “dry” Shoenuary! :laughing:

I mean I need someone to give me a first hand opinion…. :laughing:

There’s a Tahari dress that I love in Soozievt’s post.

And the very last “midi mermaid” in her post.

Ignore the rain covers for shoes but these 7 photos are dresses I’m thinking might be good for October weddings where I’ll be a guest in Honolulu.
