Apr 10, 2015

There are few things I love more than an end of week cocktail with friends.  One those beloved things is a great Friday night meal.  Cooking up a bit of comfort food while basking in the glow of a forthcoming weekend, there are few things better.

This recipe is for Jamie Oliver’s Ultimate Roast Chicken.  The recipe shows you how to prep the chicken, roast the vegetables and make the gravy.  So invite a couple of friends over, have them bring the salad, dessert, and wine and enjoy a blissful Friday night.

But what does one wear for a night cooking at home?

Karen Kane Long-Sleeve Maxi Dress ($85)

Why a maxi dress?

Washable?  Check.  Comfortable?  Check.  Just dress it up with a long necklace or some fun hoop earrings and you’re done.

Looking for some other options?  I like this printed Michael Kors dress from Nordstrom.  This Splendid high-slit maxi is fun.  And don’t miss this LNA maxi-dress with a cut-out back.

Plus-size? I like this 24/7 Comfort Apparel dress.  Petite?  This orange Spense dress is nice.  Tall?  Try this American Apparel dress.

Also, I love a cheeky apron.  They’re not the classiest things in the world, but they can be kind of fun.  I bought my Brother this “Many Have Eaten Here, Few Have Died” apron.  Or you can choose the standard striped chef’s apron.

Happy Hour

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
