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.

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?
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.
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).
