A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

I got a great cape from the Nordstrom sale and I have been waiting for the arrival of fall weather ever since just so I can wear it! (Well, also because i love fall weather, but still.) A few friends (mostly male) made fun of me for buying it; I will have to show them this post!
I would love to know your opinion on coat lengths and skirt lengths: is it okay to wear a pencil skirt that hits just above the knee with a coat that hits higher, at mid-thigh? I used to always do this but now I'm starting to think it's unflattering on me, and I'm trying to decide whether to buy a shorter peacoat to wear with pencil skirts. I think a lot of people are undecided and if you look at coats online, you almost invariably see the models wearing pants or skirts that are shorter than the coat.
Love these! I've been on the hunt for a belted cape in camel or black, under $250. Has anyone seen one around?

(I only mention that it's on there because I'm not sure if Belle gets the credit based just off my link or if she needs you to click through in order to get credit if you wind up buying it.)
I love the Tahari one, and it's named after you! 🙂
