    I love this look! What a great way to make the work wardrobe staple a little more feminine. I wish the pencil skirt and I were better friends.

  2. KC says:

    IN LOVE with these. Especially the Cyan/Black little number in the middle. Nice job Belle!

  3. Ali says:

    I love when i I love the cheapest one the best! Thanks for introducing me to ASOS, Belle – I never would've known about it without this website! I have a thread-jacky question that I was hoping you or one of your wonderful readers may be able to answer. I scored a pair of missoni target tights, and they are a really cool navy-whiteish pattern. I have NOOOO idea what to wear them with. Navy scares the life out of me . I should've brought this up when we discussed tight-rules last week but I didn't think these tights would give me such an issue until my battle was lost this morning and i went with a boring old standby outfit.

    I feel like a real old lady confessing this but a Talbots catalogue came in the mail to my house yesterday and I actually liked lots of what was in it. Elegant and classic. HORRORS.

  5. anna says:

    quick question: for the white option, what would you style this with for fall/winter….thanks and love your blog

  6. Belle says:

    a camel cashmere sweater.

  7. anna says:

    thanks for the suggestion….love it…a post i'd love is ways to style a t-neck sweater….my winter uniform and i'm desperately in need of new ideas for how to rock it….

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
