    Hey Belle– what tops are best with skirts like this?

  2. KLo says:

    I wish wish wish I had the shape to wear #2. I love it.

    L-Something Fitted! Sweater, tucked in blouse, etc.

    L: I'm usually not a fan of turtlenecks, but a friend of mine wore a slim, ribbed turtleneck with a skirt like these the other day and looked fantastic. Kind of a sexy, retro vibe, while still being professional and covered up.

    Thanks ladies! One more question… If you wear a fitted cardigan, is it ok to tuck it in? I am always uncomfortable when it comes to tucking in closed cardigans..

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours.
