Silk Crepe Ruffle Coat (3.1 Phillip Lim, $1,950)
The first time that I saw this coat, I thought it was incredible. The second time, I wondered how it would fit. And the third time, I began to wonder if it would swallow me like a furry Halloween costume.
What do you ladies think?
Several of you have sent e-mails and DMs asking for more business casual and casual work attire for women in senior roles and management. Offices are leaving professional attire behind in favor of denim and what one reader described as “dressy workout clothes.” So how do you dress like the boss when you need to […]
Are you tired of Gift Guides, yet? Yesterday, I got one from my accountant. My accountant. And I like Rick, but I am not so hard up for suggestions that anyone will find a one-year subscription to Quicken under the tree. But because how much we love and like people is not determined by how […]
This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss. Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner? In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin. But in my 40s, my skin […]
I think it would be drastically improved if it weren’t such a ho-hum color.
The only kind of person I can possible think would look good in this is someone very frail and petite. Like an Olson twin or something.
Coats with a bit of volume are rarely bad.
Horrible.
maybe with a cute, sparkly belt?
An Olson twin type with either really pale or dark skin could pull it off, I think. That color is hard to pull off for those of us with a skin tone that’s too similar.
Maybe if you are very tall….with cute skinny jeans and super high heels – the belted comment sounds good too
My first thought was actually “sad elephant.” Sorry.
I am madly in love with this coat, and briefly considered becoming homeless for a month to afford it. Personally, I think it would overwhelm someone with a tiny frame, there’s too much fabric on it.
I think it’s super cute, with a chunky brown leather or sparkly belt. That being said, I can think of like 2 people who can afford this. I’m excited to see if someone could reproduce a more affordable option comparable to this.
Mummy costume.
