If you buy a mid-length skirt, do NOT wear it with booties. You need to show some foot in order to lengthen the leg line. If you don’t, it will look like your legs are the same length as a Hobbit’s.
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 agree about avoiding booties, but I don't love those platform nude peeptoes in the second photo, either. Any suggestions? In the past, I've worn kitten heels with skirts like these.
I HAVE to wear heels with skirts of this length, and even then I look like I have wide, stumpy legs. I actually avoid skirts of this length at all cost.
I really like the flowy, pleated, chiffon skirts lately. Belle, I hope you will post a “how to wear” guide! I have my eye on a few skirts like these, but I am clueless as to what goes on top!
you're the best!
Agreed on styling. I also wonder how pleats look with hips. Mine are ample enough.
