    Chic and comfy year round – gotta love it. Those Parisians are really onto something with the neutral dress. (I just wish you had put together the ensemble for which a dress with an interior drawstring is best suited: Thanksgiving dinner! I'm imagining a scarf that converts to bib-style napkin as the ultimate accessory.)

    On my way there now; thanks for the heads-up. I'm into the "cools" and I love a soft, dove gray but I can't pull it off in a dress; makes me look fat (fatter). But I think it's a really elegant color, looks luxe, so gorgeous paired with a pale yellow…really is an incredible neutral which can go with just about anything. I wear it in tops, scarves, blazers, sweaters, shoes…maybe I just haven't found the right dress or skirt, so I'll consider yours! I did have a deep charcoal skirt I wore for years.

    I like the drawstring idea also. When I first looked at the dress it reminded me of my maternity wear from about 20 to 25 years ago. ;)

    Is it for sale online so I can see a few more pictures of just the dress?
    Does it have a name?

    Thank for an inspiring post as always.

      I found it at Bloomingdale's as well. And, not thanks to you, Janice, there are now TWO dresses that I feel I MUST have for my wardrobe! This blog is going to ruin me! ;-)
