Burgundy is hot for fall again. A pencil skirt is a great place to start. Wear it with grey, camel, navy and ivory. Or go for a color and wear it with mint, purple, or blush.

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.
Hi Belle- Hope you had a nice (but too short) break. Could you do a post on wearing a burgundy pencil skirt with tights? I know the 2-3 rule, but I always have a tough time with this one.
Thanks!
Whaaaat, I’m accidentally on-trend with my skirt today? And I’m wearing a blush top! Watch out, the sky might be falling.
I think I speak for at least a handful of your readers, but thank you for teaching us how to dress ourselves. It’s a little silly, but when I realized that I was wearing oh, precisely what you were recommending, it was like, “Yes! Success! I’m finally starting to get it!”
Also I absolutely second the request for advice on tights with a burgundy or oxblood skirt. Are our only options black tights/black shoes?
I had the exact same whaaaaat moment! Just received a burgundy pencil skirt that I ordered last week, and feel unreasonably pleased with myself. Maybe there’s hope for those of us “learning” to be stylish after all.
And I third the tights request – especially curious about shoes (as I’m a black tights only kind of gal anyway). And some flat options would certainly be welcome!
Burgundy and purple? Could you show us a few looks? I don’t know what shade of purple would go with burgundy…
pale purple.
I never in a million years would have come up with pairing mint and burgundy, and I couldn’t picture it mentally. But… so cute! Thanks for the tip!
