Premium Peplum Asymmetric Dress ($116)
I wouldn’t usually put a dress like this in the morning post, but I think it’s phenomenal. I didn’t want to wait until Friday to post it, because I didn’t want it to sell out before I could post it. It’s a unique dress, in a hot color with a lot of style, but not a high price. Great for a late summer wedding.
Prefer sleeves? This ballet pink dress has a deep-v neckline and a peplum.
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.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!

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.
This dress is phenomenal! I just really really wish I could wear it to work..sigh. The peplum, the details are fantastic..and the price?Unbeatable!!
Belle, on the topic of weddings – can you talk black tie for a moment? I used to feel that black tie mandated a floor length gown, but the last few black tie weddings I’ve been to featured an abundance of short, but dressy cocktail dresses. Other than the time of the ceremony (ie, an 8:00 wedding being more formal than a 4PM ceremony), what’s your view on long versus short for black tie weddings? Thanks!
Belle, two questions. How can a pear shape wear this? I think not 🙁 and 2 — what kind of bra do you wear here that will let this gorgeous back show beautifully?
I bought it and I’m pear shaped. You need to size up and take in the top. Nubra.
i know you’re pear shaped, which is why i asked! i’ll take a chance on it. thanks for the nubra rec!
For NS, Backless bra. Great invention.
thanks! 🙂 any particular brand you like?
This is fantastic. What should would you put with it? Maybe a nude heel?
Ugh, if only this came in a v neck (and the sleeve option wouldn’t work for me cuz cap sleeves make my arms look like sausages 🙁 ).
Now that’s a banger. Love this dress. I too am with Anna – a high neck doesn’t always compute with my size C bust. I wonder if a tailor would make it more scooped? I think a “v” neck would introduce too much busyness in an already busy, bright dress. Thoughts, Belle?
Definitely just bought this for an early September wedding in Boston. *Sigh* I’m such a sucker for a good recommendation.
