This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
I’m a big fan of the sloan sheath (I saw an adorable polka dot version at BR this weekend) but I can’t justify the price tag. I’m hoping it’ll drop if I just wait long enough…

I got mine when dresses were on sale and used my friend’s BR card (she had a 40% off reward). Definitely don’t buy anything at BR full price, but this dress is so worth it.
Hi Belle,
I love the Sloan sheath! I’m actually wondering how best to style it for a cocktail event. Specifically, I’m pondering necklace or no necklace with that neckline and what to do with my hair. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could offer! Thanks!
Hi Belle, I have a similar dress, though it’s an a-line, with a built in belt just above the waist. Okay, so it’s a completely different dress, but you reminded me of it. Problem is, with my office being fairly casual, I don’t know how to style a dress like this for work when I need to be a crisp professional. Do I just have the wrong dress as a foundation piece?
Couldn’t have kept my job without your blog!

Add structure. A belt, a fitted blazer, etc. Choose pieces that have more structure to balance the shape of the dress.
