10th Commandment: August 20

Aug 20, 2012

Before we start, a short note about this week.  I am on vacation out West with my family, so there will be just two posts per day.  Also, the morning posts will be some fabulous under-$100 items that will be great for the transition from summer to fall.  See you in a week!
 

V Neck Pencil Dress (Topshop, $92)

This dress reminds me of a folded pencil dress that Kate Middleton wore earlier this year.  With a neutral color and short sleeves,  it’s perfect for the summer to fall transition.  And it also comes in tan, if you’re not feeling the black.

    This dress is so perfect, and the price is oh-so-nice. While I didn't see what Kate wore earlier this year (how does she always nail outfits? I mean, even before she was royalty. I'm not trying to emulate her, but I am consistently impressed) until just now, I would say this is comfortably close without being too obvious a copycat.

    Whoever it is that continues to advise Mrs. Obama to wear the shrug lengh tops should be stop immediately. While the little jackets and sweaters are adorable, they do not flatter. She is a tall gal, even a couple of inches longer would help the silhouette. kate keeps it classic! Who doesn't look good in classic cuts and lengths? An edge to classic…in this area, there is confidence.

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.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
