Instead.

Now that you know what to wear, allow me to suggest a few ways to spend these extra minutes…

Read two more pages of Zafón. Confirm the Nantucket house for two weeks in August.

Dash off a few lines to aunt Charlotte. Memorize Sonnet 116.

Open the Barolo. Gather an armful of peonies from their reckless party along the stone wall. Watch the market reports or the moonrise.

Or go on and slip into this dress (in front of a tall mirror is best) and congratulate yourself on your smart choices.

Start with the extravagant print made up of six eye-pleasing floral-patterned stripes in varying widths that conspire to form the stunning overall pattern. If you’re feeling a bit more decorous, the solid navy may entice you more.

In either case, turn this way and the other. Appreciate the two on-seam pockets. Preen a bit (try not to).

Easy Pullover Shirtdress (No. 5932). The smartness of a shirtdress in a relaxed-fit pullover-style. Soft 100% rayon. Stretch lining. Back yoke with center pleat. Four trocas shell buttons at front placket. Upper-calf length. Self-fabric tie belt. Intriguing side slits. Made in India.
