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.

The Red Valentino reminds me of something Olivia Pope would wear!
Can you consider suggesting tall options along with petite and plus? We’re a size category too and often anything with long sleeves or a defined waist will fit as oddly on a tall person as on a petite person. I’d love to see options that would be cut for my proportions.
I’ll tell you what, if I see a tall piece I like or if the brand also does tall pieces I’ll mention it. And when I do pants or skirts, I’ll try to find one. No promises, but I’ll keep it in mind.
