I am definitely seeing an evolving trend, hybrid dresses that you can take from your bedroom, backyard, beach, or the streets. I’ve been highlighting many of them these past couple of months. One of my favorites is by Natalie Martin, and Forward just dropped several new styles that I listed below.
Natalie Martin Stevie Dress FRWD, $180. Vintage Turquoise Floral.
Natalie Martin Isobel Dress FRWD, $210. Wildflower Rose.
Natalie Martin Maggie Dress FRWD, $223. Wildflower Floral.
Natalie Martin Virginia Dress FRWD, $278. Solid white cotton dress.

Natalie Martin Melanie Dress FRWD, $328. Solid black silk.
Natalie Martin Marlien Maxi FRWD, $210. Wildflower Blue.
Natalie Martin Renata Shirt FRWD, $163 Vintage Turquoise Floral.
Dress in the above picture is the Fiore Short Dress (sold out) and I’m wearing it with platform Vans.
Comfy, casual, and loose fitting dresses are what constitutes the Stay at Home Dress. I’ve been cooking a ton, and I’m in out of the pool so I just throw on a loose fitting dress. Mine could use a bit of sprucing so below are some that I am considering.
SZ Blockprints Padra Eva Mini Dress Tuckernuck, $148. SZ Blockprints runs big.
SZ Blockprints Kitty Dress Shopbop, $125. Dress in above picture.
Anything that takes me from morning to night is a GO during quarantine! Case in point this quilted Ulla Johnson jacket. I have been wearing a similar quilted version from Ellies & Ivy that I got on my trip to Copenhagen last year. Some more affordable options include this, this, and this by Natalie Martin. For a belted utility look try this & Other stories or this H&M jacket. Mother just got in several new Natalie Martin dresses check them out here, and FRWD is running a 20% off the entire site shop it here.
With temperatures rising to the mid 70’s next week I would love to lounge around the house in one of Natalie Martin’s dresses that just arrived at Forward. Let’s show our local designers some love!
