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.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!

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.
Belle, could you issue a PSA to women to check their skirt's slit? I am so sick of seeing people's underwear!!
Can I also add to L's comment and say, if you are wearing a sweater and it doesn't cover your bottom, throwing on tights does not make it any more appropriate. (I'm looking at you, woman, whom I had to follow up the metro stairs and got quite an eyeful last night). Put on some clothes, please.
Thanks for bringing this up — women who walk up the escalator need to be especiaily careful in short skirts – I have seen way too much!!
I wrote a PSA about both these issues a few weeks ago, what can I say, people need to cover their nether regions better than they do.
As a side note about the skirt PSAs, women in a-line skirts needs to be especially careful on escalators, regardless of the skirt length. A few weeks ago, the cops caught a creep taking pictures up my knee length skirt on the metro escalators.
that is a geat skirt.
Re: skirts on escalators. I was behind a young woman (23-25ish?) wearing a really cute flippy skirt the other day. As soon as she got on the escalator it kept flipping ALL the way up in the back. She was wearing a thong. You could see her whole booty. I felt so bad for her. It really seemed like she had no idea. I contemplated running up the stairs and taking her aside, but I'm 6 months pregnant and just can't move that fast right now. I was flabbergasted.
I saw this skirt, shrieked in delight, and immediately bought it. Recently discovered your blog, and am addicted. I don't have nearly as much time to shop as I would like, and really, I just need someone to tell me what the hell to wear, and where to get it. You have great suggestions for both professional and casual wear.
