    Any thoughts on where to find a similar skirt in a cognac color, hopefully under $50? Thanks for any advice!

  2. I’m intrigued by the leather pencil skirt look. I’m curious, of those of you who’ve worn them, are they comfy? I have this feeling like they might be tight or restricting when walking.

    • Lizzie says:

      If it fits well it is very comfortable. My leather skirt is one of my most comfortable because it has stretched slightly (think of it like wearing in shoes, it will follow your shape). I always get compliments on it and wear it like a black pencil skirt. If you live in a colder area it keeps you warmer as well.

    Belle, are you sure these are office appropriate? Leather to me seems a little racy, and I definitely don’t consider myself a conservative person/dresser at all. I know it’s a big trend, but it just seems a bit much.

    • Belle says:

      Depends on the office, and how you wear it. Treat it like a regular black pencil skirt and pair it with conservative separates.

    • KC says:

      I have the Banana Republic skirt and wear it to work at a law firm. I’ve received compliments on it and have never gotten a questioning look. I wear it with a blue button down shirt or a loose sweater, dark nylons and black suede pumps. As long as it isn’t skin tight, short, or shiny, and you’re not wearing black leather head-to-toe, I think it’s fine.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
