No outfit is complete until you have the right shoes. So this week is all about footwear for fall. It’s okay to be excited, I am.
Burgundy is always fall appropriate, but this year, it’s especially hot. So why not invest in a pair of burgundy pumps to wear with charcoal, navy and teal?

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.
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.
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 […]

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
Belle, when researching this post, did you also look at patent pumps in this shade? I have a pair that are worn into the ground and desperately need to be replaced but I cannot find a pair of burgundy patent pointed toe pumps in the 3″-5″ range despite my best efforts (Kate Space Licorice pumps are the ideal shape in my mind).
Oh, I love these! Too bad even the Paid Intern version is out of my price range.
These are suede and meant for fall/winter in DC — how can we protect them from the elements? Electing to wear them on a day that won't rain is nearly impossible here!
Thanks in advance!
Belle: Burgundy Pumps + navy skirt = navy tights?
BN: Take them to a cobbler and have them treated. Also invest in a suede eraser and brush.
Anna: I only wear burgundy pumps with pants for two reasons. One, I've never warmed to black and burgundy together. Too many Guido want to be IT guys have ruined that combo for me. And the tights thing is an issue, so I just stick with pants. But if you're observing the 2-out-of-3 rule, you need to match the tights to the skirt, or, gasp, wear nude hose.
