Several of you have sent e-mails and DMs asking for more business casual and casual work attire for women in senior roles and management. Offices are leaving professional attire behind in favor of denim and what one reader described as “dressy workout clothes.” So how do you dress like the boss when you need to […]

Are you tired of Gift Guides, yet? Yesterday, I got one from my accountant. My accountant. And I like Rick, but I am not so hard up for suggestions that anyone will find a one-year subscription to Quicken under the tree. But because how much we love and like people is not determined by how […]

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss. Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner? In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin. But in my 40s, my skin […]

I got a great trench at the Banana Republic outlet right after Christmas for $70. 🙂 I had no idea what my wardrobe was missing! I wear it all the time now.
Thanks a lot Belle. I just impulse bought the Vince Camuto coat while at work facepalm. Ideally, I would love to own a Burberry, esp. the coat Kate Middleton wore on her tour of Ireland ( https://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/slaves-to-fashion/2011/03/08/0308kate-middleton-burberry-trench_fa.jpg ) but alas, it sold out within days (as everything worn by KM does).
I am constantly amazed by the fact that I almost always want the Elected Official and the Unpaid Intern options but the Hill Staffer option leaves me feeling “Meh.” *laughs at self. The trench is a great choice to post to celebrate almost-spring! What are your thoughts on the “short trench”? Too trendy? Can you wear one if you're over 40? Thanks 🙂
My comment didn't take. Oops. Thanks for this – I am in the hunt for a classic Burberry. What is the classic-classic Burberry, in your opinion? Must it be khaki?
