A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.
Welcome to the warm weather months. Outside, you will roast. Inside, you will freeze. The air conditioning will be your constant nemesis, as it “conditions” the air to a temperature that is primarily suitable for men. Luckily, this cardigan can keep you warm even when your fiery resentment wanes.
Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]

This week has been an absolute bear, so let’s reach into the reader mail bag and answer some questions. And let’s start with a post about affordable summer bags.
What's the best way to wear a brooch….on your wool coat? I hate to damage garments like sweater, blouse or silk scarf….help!
C,
I wear brooches all the time! I really think they add some interest to an otherwise solid colored cardigan or turtleneck, etc. I always wear them directly on my sweater or shirt, but I wouldn't wear a brooch on a silk shirt. If your blouse is delicate, I would wear the brooch on your jacket. I don't have any scarves, but I'm sure you could get creative with those. Good luck!
