This issue of the newsletter ran in April of 2024, but is re-running today because of a 30% off sale!
It’s that time of year: the debut of the Old Navy Dress of the Summer. (Scroll down to see the dress, but here’s a button to shop if you can’t wait!). Take 30% off at checkout; the new price will populate in your cart.
If you’re new around here, I have found, without fail, a perfect Old Navy dress every single summer since summer 2018. And since 2022, I’ve shared them here. That year was the year of the Reformation dupe that traveled with me to Lake Como and beyond.
Then last year, it was the simple but effective black ribbed midi dress that could be worn for almost any occasion in any season; a true closet staple for me still to this day. Here I am wearing it with a sweater over it in a Berlin hotel in September 2023:
PS. How did I tuck a sweater into the dress? I used this.
Unfortunately, neither of these dresses are part of Old Navy’s offerings this year, which means if you want to jump on the 2024 DOTY (Dress of the Year), we have learned, historically, that you have one season to do so. As one Geezer told me, “the floral dress was my ‘one that got away’ and I’ll never let that happen again.”
What Geezers Are Reading:
5 years later, I still stand by this $20 rec I made in 2019 — and a lot of you say you still love yours!
The product that brought my nails back to life — easily the number one purchase you’re making in April (so far!)
AND, another sale (51% off!) on the Long Merly Jacket.
She’s a comfy rib-knit maxi with a neat fit-and-flare style, featuring a scoop neck and spaghetti straps. It's made mostly of cotton with a bit of spandex for some stretch. You can pick it up in several colors like jade, zinnia, black, blue, and off-white (pictured), and it's available in sizes from XS to 4X, including tall and petite options. Perfect for a casual day out or dressing up a bit, it falls just above the ankle.
Why we love it: Like the midi ribbed dress, the 2024 DOTY is a basic that will go with everything in your closet. Dress it up, dress it down! Layer it into fall and winter, wear it on its own in the summer. Endless possibilities.
The most FAQ about this dress so far has been about what bra we’re wearing with it. I’m gonna be honest with you: I am in a no-bra era as of late. I’ll throw Cakes nipple covers on if I feel like I must. I know that’s not for everyone, so my rec would be to go strapless (here’s my pick).
I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Opened this email while wearing the 2024 DOTY because it’s perfect for a weekend with lots of levels of dressiness but comfortable enough to wear all day. I’m wearing it with a bra with thinner straps and it hides them completely fwiw
