Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Drop-Waist Button-Front Cotton Midi Dress

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I know the groundhog said we were in for a long winter this year, but that doesn’t mean I can’t dream about wearing crisp cotton shirtdresses. This drop-waist cotton midi from Nordstrom Rack would be a great option for the first day the temperature is above 60 degrees.

I’m hearing that chunky belts are coming back in style for 2026, so I would go into the back of my closet to add a wide belt to this for some extra shape. 

The dress is $49.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes XS-XL.
