Belle’s Closet: Recent Purchase Roundup

Nov 4, 2014

Writing a blog sometimes causes me to over indulge in online shopping.  But, because I’m particular, a large percentage of what I order is unceremoniously returned.  So when I do find something that I love enough to keep, I feel the need to promote them.

Extra Fine Merino Wool Vee Pullover ($79)

I love this sweater.  It’s light, but not too sheer.  It’s long enough to look great with skinny jeans, but not so long that you can’t tuck it into a skirt.  And even though Merino wool sometimes gives me a case of the itches, I don’t notice it when I wear this sweater.  So I bought it in black as well.

J.Crew Fringed Disc Bracelet ($33)

I moved away from J.Crew for most things, but I still love their shoes and their jewelry.  This disc bracelet was a gift from a friend, so I bought a second one to wear as a pair.  It has a subtle sparkle and a chic look.  I’m also think about ordering this Chanel-like charm bracelet.

Loeffler Tamsin Pump ($262) 

I eyed this pumps for almost two years before I bought them.  Sometimes a sale is all you need to get you to pull the trigger.  The heel is 2.75″, so they’re comfortable.  The dotted calf-hair is also a versatile, subtle animal print.  A nice change from the basic black heels that I’ve worn to death this year.

    Bracelets to wear as a pair – do you mean one on each wrist? or stacked?

    Hi Belle –

    What are your thoughts on the new Scandal line from The Limited? Yay or nay?

    Thanks!

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.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.

Too Many Tabs: April 19, 2024

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 […]

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

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.
