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!

    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 Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet
