A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
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.

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.
Finally!I’m ahead of a trend! I night the Banana Republic version of the Karl Lagerfeld blouse in 2011. It is pretty much identical in all details except the body of the blouse is more cream than bright white. Sadly, I have lost so much weight that it is just a bit too blousy and loose now. Not a bad problem to have though…
Black and white and blousy tops, I am in love. Q for you, Belle – what color tank would you wear under this? Nude tanks are strange on me, as I’m a dark Asian and can’t find “nudes” that are my tone, also wouldn’t nude still show through… Help?
I’d go with an ivory if you have trouble finding a flesh-tone tank.
