Sixties T-Bar Heels (Boden, $149)

I spotted these berry-colored heels in Real Simple a couple of months ago and just fell in love with them.  They are the perfect mix of menswear-inspired chic and understated femininity.  And the color…Lord knows, I love berry-hued anything.  (Except Uggs.  Nothing can fix Uggs.)  They also come in black patent.

The menswear trend has popped up a few times over the life of this blog.  It creeps into blazer cuts and accessories.  But last time, the powers that be at Vogue were asking me to wear brogues and high-heel loafers, and I just refused.  So these t-strap, mid-heel pumps are a much more approachable way to inject a bit of Marlene Dietrich into my attire.

If you like the t-strap look but prefer something in a higher heel, these Sole Society pumps can get the job done for $50.  I also adore these metallic and black pumps from Rachel Zoe.  These Aldo Kveta pumps also come in pewter, black and patent.

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

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.
