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 […]

Bella,
I have been meaning to ask you about Asos. I am studying aboard and they are the only company that does not charge an arm and a leg to ship to Belgium. What do you think for their quality?
Thanks!
I am wondering the same. I haven't ordered from Asos yet. I love that blouse, though!
Asos is basically a department store. Some of the pieces are House brands and some are known brands (Karen Millen, etc.). I've had good luck with the two pieces that I have purchased from there, but you really need to measure yourself to figure out your size cause returns are a hassle.
I am a 2/4 top and a 4/6 bottom, so I order a UK 8 shirt and a UK10 dress. I would rather pay money to alter the 10 if it's too big than order the 8 and feel like I'm wearing a sausage casing.
