Finding a good short sleeved dress for work that is not some version of the trad wife aesthetic is so hard. The cleanest, non-fussy, and most work appropriate styles I’ve found are mostly sleeveless. I live in sleeveless dresses and tops in summer so I’m not against them, per se, especially slightly dressier for work. It’s that I don’t have enough time to work out and lift weights to turn my soft ice cream bon bon arms into two small pythons before classes start in two weeks.
