10th Commandment: February 15

Feb 15, 2011

For whatever reason, I’m really obsessed with orange right now.  I think it started last month when I saw a woman carrying this gorgeous orange satchel.  Something about the color just spoke to me and said, “I’m fun and bright, and you know you want to own me.”

Washi Wrap Skirt (Anthropologie, $88)

While this isn’t quite the punchy orange that I’ve been longing for, this origami pleated skirt is truly adorable.  The cinched grosgrain waist and puffed silhouette will make your waist look really tiny.  And since the shade is a bit more muted, you can wear it now with brown tights and boots and in two months with flats and a sleeveless blouse.  

Look for Less

    I love that skirt!

    As a side note, I just have to tell you that I look forward to your posts every day.

    I too am obsessed with orange. I have been for awhile but not bold enough to wear it.
    But it is drawing me in like matter into a quantum singularity.

    It is fun! It is the sunny, happy, cheerful of yellow but without the cowardice crossed with the bold, assertiveness of red without the aggression. What's not to love?

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
