10th Commandment: August 29

Aug 29, 2013

A reader asked for some recommendations for ponte pants.  They’re a great alternative to leggings if you want something with more structure to wear under long tops or sweater dresses.

Also, I’m in Montana enjoying the last of the summer, so today will be the blog’s Friday.  We will also be off Monday for Labor Day, back Tuesday.  Have a fun and safe weekend!

    do you think ponte pants are work appropriate? I want to be able to wear skinnier pants at work if possible but with structure like ponte

  2. Janine says:

    Just a heads up, the links for both the plus-size and petite pant go to the NYDJ Jodie Pant.

  3. Jeanie says:

    Belle, are you (shockingly) not a fan of J.Crew’s pixie pant? While I appreciate that it comes in short lengths and multiple neutrals, I can’t ever get it sized right to work on me and had always blamed my short, leg-muscley, pear shaped frame.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

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.

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

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 […]
