Dress season has arrived, and I feel like I return to my fullest self in these months. I love the ease and airiness of wearing an unfussy dress every day of the week. Above, wearing an unexpected (for me) black dress that could truly take you anywhere you needed to go — meeting, cocktails, playdate, travel, desk session, etc!
Below, 15 of my favorite everyday dresses to live, create and parent in.

EMBROIDERED DRESS // STRUCTURED SHIRT DRESS // EVERYDAY DRESS
01. La Ligne t-shirt dress — use code MAGPIE10 for 10% off there. Absolutely love this genius dress — really gorgeous structured cotton that feels like you’re wearing a t-shirt but looks much more polished thanks to the belt, quality, and details. (A good look for less here.)
02. This feminine block print dress — they also have a past-season print on super sale that I love here.
03. Coastal poplin shirt dress in seaside stripe — effortless option for summer.
04. Ultra-flattering drop waist bodice and adjustable drawstring waist (available in other prints, too).
05. This Julia Amory dress is perfect for an elevated day out or picking up the kids from school. Use code JEN-15 for 15% off.
06. Honey gingham caftan. Such an easy throw-and-go piece, and the pattern does all the heavy lifting.
07. Obsessed with this striped shirtdress dress. Polished but so easy to wear.
08. Hand block printed pattern!
09. Go-to dress — dress it up or down!
10. Doen makes the airiest, most breathable cotton dresses. Great for peak summer heat in DC. And you know I’m having a thing for cobalt!
11. Breathtaking hand-embroidered detailing on this Mi Golondrina dress. I love these small-batch, hand-made dresses.
12. Classic Julia Amory caftan.
13. This dress is the definition of quiet luxury.
14. This silhouette works for day or evening.
15. AYR just released a fab tee dress!
