10th Commandment: May 24

Polka Dot Dress (Mango, $40)

I like to keep a few simple dresses around for mornings when I don’t want to think too hard about what I’m wearing.  Usually, on these mornings, I’ve overslept. Shhh. That’s our little secret.

Check back at 1:00PM for Two Ways to wear this dress.

Look for Less

    it's such a cute dress, but looking at it on the website, it looks incredibly short. 6″ above the knee is much too short for a work dress.

  2. ADL says:

    Love this. And I too have several dresses that are my “easy to throw on” dresses.

  3. Kate says:

    Belle, would a dress like this be ok to wear to a wedding if accessorized properly?

  4. Nina says:

    Belle, can you comment on the length and the sheer-ness of this dress?

  5. Belle says:

    Kate: Depends on the wedding of course. But it would be fine for a casual ceremony in the afternoon.

    Nina: I cannot. But I own two Mango dresses, one is quite sheer (I wear a full slip under it) and one is not. So I think it's hit or miss.

    So cute! Sadly, also sold out in every color…

    I can't tell if this is an elastic waist or a tie belt. Does anyone know?

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.

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 […]
