I have some doubts about the practicality of a bright crimson red dress when I am working from home and starting a journey in managing new unexpected burdens with DH, but I also love the color, the collar, the type of sleeves, the long length, the cotton material, and that the description on the website says it can be machine washed, Check, check, check, check........

I recently purchased a pink pointe Smythe suit jacket and coordinating 7/8 pants from Boden.

They pants are machine washable and both are impeccably made. I like to wear blazers when I am working on video conferences, and the machine wash factor plus an online discount made it worth the purchase. I am hopeful that this Nic and Zoe top will look good with it. The Boden pink looks to fall somewhere between orchid and mauve to my eye, but I think something mottled with different shades of pink included could work....I hope.... It’s low stock so I hope they actually ship it......
