My search for inexpensive summer dresses continues.  This cute striped dress from Romwe is the latest acquisition.  It is light-weight and summery, but still office-appropriate and stylish.  One of my pet peeves is stripes that don’t align, but I was willing to deal with it here because the mismatch isn’t as noticeable as it would be if the entire dress were horizontally striped.

On another note, I’m resuming Money Mondays today!  I’ll be posting them separately to keep them in the Finance category.  I’ll continue discussing financial topics I believe are important to women, although many, like today’s discussion of trusts, are important to the entire family.   Please check them out and feel free to comment and ask questions.  I am also available by email at [email protected] if you’re more comfortable asking questions privately.

Back to fashion; the Nordstrom Anniversary Early Access sale is in full swing.  As a Nordstrom debit or credit-card holder you can gain access to this fantastic sale online as well as in stores!

Happy Monday!
