Ooh, on the luggage front, I’m obsessed with the Briggs & Riley Essential 22” expandable carry on. It is the only bag I took on a three week trip to Europe. They’re pricey but worth the splurge.

A carry on for three weeks?! That’s impressive!

Two packages literally just arrived in the mail—one from Anthro with a Somerset Maxi and one from J. Crew with a Capitaine Linen Shirt Dress. Feeling very on trend after reading your newsletter and fortuitously receiving these today!

I have three Somerset dresses 🤭 and have been a fan of Target dresses for decades. They also hold up nicely!

I love dresses so I loved seeing this newsletter but I can’t get any of the links to work! Has anyone else had this issue? I read in Substack always and have turned off my wi-fi, turned on and off my phone, and nothing is allowing me reset those links. Any ideas?

So glad you liked the Beyond Yoga twist dress!!! I was also newer to the side cut-outs but found them fun too! And overall I think the dress is exceptionally flattering! You look beautiful in it!

Wonderful to look at all of these choices for summer dresses. What styles do you recommend for someone who is 5'3" ish with a bit of a belly? It is hard for short women to find flattering dresses. Thanks for any ideas!

I think the J.Crew squareneck one I mentioned here could be good! Also the J.Crew shirt dress comes in petite.

I am also 5'3" and have the Target Ballet Dress (in teal) and 2 Somerset dresses from Anthropologie. I have quite good luck with Target dresses, actually! I also love the brand Universal Standard. Their t shirt dresses are the perfect summer one and done outfit!

Target dresses are 💯 — I’ve got two from years ago I still wear all the time.

This was so helpful to see different dresses at different price points too! I have been eyeing hill house Ellie and may have to get one for myself! Thanks for sharing Elizabeth!
