I am more a shift dress girl these days for brunch. Nothing too sexy for brunch

Yeah, that one is not quite a sheath dress- it's also button up the front, so it's almost more like a shirtdress, but way fancier. I like the dress a lot, great color, and I do think it could work with more neutral accessories. Don't want to up the flash of an already flashy dress. Simple, thin belt, nude shoes, discrete jewelry and I think it would be cute.

ANn Taylor has a LOT of dresses that I think might work right now. Check them out. Maybe a little too floral, but I walked by the store in Tysons, having already read this thread, and thought now those are brunch dresses. But maybe more like Mother's Day brunch dresses.

That is not a sheath dress. That is a party dress.

A sheath dress usually has a straight skirt.

Honestly I just bought a few dresses from target.com...They have simple (but nice) cotton dresses that are easy to take care of and comfortable.

I was thinking Jaleo with friends (I have been invited to a "ladies" brunch and begged off because I knew I had NOTHING to wear and no time to sort it out in time). My other thought was going out with DH (Jaleo's, Redwood , whatever). I usually wear flats to work, standard cardigans and slacks. Nothing exciting but wanted a more grown up look without looking like I was trying too hard.

Trashy!

hahahaha I am new to this trying to be a grown up business. Guess real housewives isn't a good model. So do you have a non trashy version? Even though this was my "trashy" pick your response made me giggle... Oh, well, Back to the drawing board..

Brunch where and with whom? At the neighbors on the screened porch? At a hotel with your visiting aunts? At Jackie's with DH? At Jaleo with your girlfriends? (In any case, the dress you linked to is not a great choice.)

I didnt even notice the brown belt and yes, it is horrid..... I'll look into J Crew Maxi dresses. Maybe Nordstrom will have something too?

That looks way too fancy for a brunch to me. And the belt they picture with it is horrific! But the dress itself is cute.

For Sunday brunch I think something breezy and more casual, like Anthropologie, maybe J.Crew, or a maxi dress.

Any recomendations for a nice grown up summer dress. I am thinking something that would work for Sunday Brunch. Thanks!
