    These are so ugly. If I saw someone wearing them on the Hill I would take a photo and send it to you as a fashion faux paux. What the hell would you wear with these?! Seriously…. trendy or not these are only cute on little girls- not grown women.

    Belle,

    I like these! I think they’re really cute… and sort of 1920’s! But what would you wear with them? Some kind of dress or skirt? I need ideas!

    I actually saw this on a educator on Monday. The look was one of two tone brown/tan and not black or navy/white. She
    wore them with dark brown slacks, simple two piece (cami and sheer over top) blouse and understated gold jewelry. They
    made the outfit. And after spending all day lecturing on her feet to over 250 students, her feet didn’t hurt.

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
