Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.
Sometimes, you just want to wear something pretty to the office. Something that makes you feel good. A dress that makes your whole day better. These are those dresses.
Depending on who you ask, Gen Z has cancelled skinny jeans or perhaps they are back? Trends change, and we should change with them. But what do you do when you have a closet full of skinny jeans in a wide leg world?

This winter was particularly hard on my psyche, on my self-esteem, and on my waistline. As we move into spring, I need to make a plan for how I am going to dress this additional weight over the months of work that it will likely take to shed it. So I was so glad to […]
Do you think these are the type of shoes you can wear with tights/pantyhose? I have a couple pairs of the Sam Edelman ones which are similar (and super comfy) but I’m wondering how to transition them into winter. They look more like the third pair, with an open back.
Thanks!
I’ve avoided shoes with ankle straps for a few years for fear that it will cut my legs off visually. I’m a runner with muscular calves- any ladies have tips on how to rock gorgeous pair of ankle strap shoes without feeling like I’m walking around on two tree trunks?
Rock the muscular calves that you worked so hard for. I have muscular calves, too, and get compliments on them all the time. I may not go for thi thick of a strap, but a slimmer strap at the smallest portion of your ankle will draw the eye there.
I love this comment.
Me too! Thank you and I think I might be on the hunt for a thinner strapped pair.
Most ankle-strap shoes strike me as either too va-va-voom for work or horribly frumpy. Am I the only one?
Love the Rebbeca Taylor shoes, love ankle strap and the heel height…but need a narrow size. Very hard to find narrow shoes that are stylish.
Love these! I’m thinking of buying an ankle-strap pump but I’m hestitating between an open one like the ones you showed ore a more closed one (like a regular pump + an ankle strap)…
Macy’s has another one that’s quite similar, and quite affordable.
