From the cashmere turtleneck midi dress of 2024, bought in both colors, to this year’s cashmere turtleneck mini dress…bought two colors and counting…
Before the 2026 cashmere mini turtleneck dress, before 2024 cashmere midi turtleneck dress, there was the Hatch Manon cashmere dress. Hatch is a maternity brand and it just so happened to carry the most delicious cashmere turtleneck dress. It was just exactly what you wanted to wear during the winter while pregnant. I bought it in black and fawn brown and wore each once a week during each of my pregnancies.

As much as I love my cashmere turtleneck midi dresses from 2024, and like the Hatch maternity counterparts, I wore them each on weekly rotation, I found myself wishing for an above the knee hemline version. Cut to a few weeks ago when a style with the very hemline I was hoping for materialized on the Banana Republic website, not just in black and fawn brown, but also cream. As it has not gone on sale yet, I restrained myself and only ordered the black and cream. Fawn brown will have to wait until a promotion on cashmere.
I am wearing this dress in a size large tall.

Never mind that I bought these over two years ago; I cannot get enough of these shoes. The plaid makes them suitable for everyday wear and I think contributes to the comfort, as opposed to their satin counterparts. The comfort is actually unbelievable. Also unbelievable was the price; they were on markdown when I got them.
I am wearing these shoes in a size twelve.
