10th Commandment: January 7

Jan 8, 2010

I am in desperate need of black pants.  All I own are skirts.  Tab front trousers with a wide or flare leg are flattering on every body.  The tab eliminates that jagged bulge in the stomach (a huge pet peeve of mine), and the trouser style fits a little loose and very comfortable.  They’re the perfect pant.

    Belle—

    I’m a big fan of the black pant for those days at work when you roll out of bed and want to look put together, but are running out the door. Suprisingly, the best pair I’ve found (trouser/wide leg with a tabbed waistband, as you request) was at Ann Taylor Loft. I’ve had them since the intern days a few years ago, and they haven’t worn out, and still fit wonderfully! Plus, they are definitely in the staffer price range (maybe even the intern’s)—so stock up!

    Agreed. I probably have the same black pants from AT Loft with the tabbed waistband and love them. This particular pair is not lined, but the material is heavy enough that they are both warm and very flattering.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

They’re a great piece that you can throw on any time you need to look pulled together. Here are a few choices.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
