As I mentioned in my post from Monday, for a brief period in December between my old and new apartment, I accidentally ended up "homeless" and stayed on a friends couch for a month...living out of a suitcase...and everything I owned in a storage unit.  Because of that situation, I literally had a select few items I would rotate on a weekly basis in 8-degree weather. Options and desire to dress cute were slim.

From that scenario, I have found myself wanting to purge items that have not seen enough love and leaning more towards classic items I can layer with.

I stumbled across it at Nordstrom Rack when they had an extra discount on any clearance items.

It's lined so I don't have to worry about it being see-through in the summer sun.  In addition to that, the fabric is heavier and the way it is cut, I find this slip dress more form fitting than others I've tried.  The lower hem in the back works well so I don't have to worry about showing too much backside.  
All of the reasons above, are all points you should keep in mind if you find yourself searching for a slip dress for the Spring/Summer.

Though the weather has still been chilly here in DC, I am prepared to wear this little dress on repeat during all of our nicer weather.
