what to wear: dressing for godot

waiting If you find yourself sitting in a waiting room or know that you’ll have a long layover at an airport, then you want to be wearing something effortless and comfortable. This is just the ticket:

Wool cowlneck dress with a nipped waist is great for all body types. This black dress hits mid-thigh so a sophisticated ribbed opaque tight is perfect. Try the tight in a heathered gray or yummy steel blue ’shadow’ to maintain a long visual line but still have a bit of fun with a different color.

Since the dress is short-sleeved and it is cooler weather, wear a long lightweight merino wool sweater in a heathered carbon – it adds a sophisticated vibe without adding bulk. The length of the sweater will hit about 1-2 inches above the dress. You can leave it open or button it in the middle and add a colorful belt. If you do the steel blue tights, I’d keep the belt a neutral black or metallic silver.

Add a cute cutout bootie (cuffed version has only 1 size left) and cool gray handbag and you’ll find the waiting less monotonous.
