10th Commandment: July 15

Tracy Reese Skirt ($90)

I don’t usually advocate for the hi-lo hem, but I keep looking at the skirt.  I think the more structured, bell shape gives it a tailored look.  I also like the higher waist as an alternative to the traditional cut.

Not feeling the hi lo, but want a black skirt that’s not a pencil?  Try a flared cut or perhaps, a full midi-skirt.  Some pleats might also be nice.  Maybe a slit skirt is right up your alley– side-slit for the conservative woman and front slit for something more daring.  Or try a tulip shape for a fuller skirt that still has a bit of sleekness to it.

Plus size? This flare skirt and this pleated skirt are both good options.  Petite? I like the flared band on this skirt or this inexpensive full skirt.

    I’m not generally a fan of something as uber trendy as the hi-lo, but I like this one. It’s subtle and flattering.

    Agreed. That is really pretty.

    I agree 100% with Belle’s assessment! Gorgeous skirt with that lovely bell shape.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
