    I just purchased this silk blouse from Loft and LOVE it! It looks like 3/4 sleeves in the picture, but it's long sleeves. They also have it in a maroon color… Plus, it's on SALE 🙂

    Will this blouse work for those of us with more generous busts? I normally struggle with button downs and was uncertain how this would lay with a collar to provide some space. Maybe you can address this in the different ways to wear it today?

  3. Belle says:

    If your button up blouses gap, you need to size up to accommodate your bust and have them tailored to fit the waist. The only way for you to know if this blouse will work for you is to try it on.

    I'm new to Net-a-Porter. Why does the item not show up on the J.Crew web site, yet is (presumably) still available from Net-a-Porter? Not to mention there is a great promo going on now on the J. Crew site.

  5. Belle says:

    J.Crew makes a special collection for Net-a-Porter. They don't sell most of these items at regular J.Crew stores.

    I've been eyeing a very similar shirt on J Crew's site for a long time. https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shirtstops/blouses/PRDOVR~58742/58742.jsp the two differences are that it's green and it's a blouse rather than a button down (which sounds like a big difference, but they're really very similar).

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

They’re a great piece that you can throw on any time you need to look pulled together. Here are a few choices.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
