It’s a common dilemma, you put on a pair of jeans or a cute skirt and then, you just stare at your tops wondering why you have nothing to wear. I’m trying to add a few tops to my seemingly sparse selection. So this week, the morning post will feature shirts and blouses from a single retailer.
Today’s choice? Boden.
Textured Silk Top ($110, also in black and ivory)
Angie 100% Silk Top ($106, six colors)
Gwyneth Blouse ($65, several colors and prints available)
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.
Hi Belle,
I actually ordered the Jaquard top and returned it. The shirt was not what was advertised. Although I do like Boden in general. This was a total miss.
What about it did you not like?
The design looked okay at first, but it isn’t lined and it does not look like it would retain its shape after a wash. Boden said it is washable. Also the fabric looked like it pill.
You just described me every morning! Ha. And apparently I only gravitate towards black blouses, which I don’t usually like to wear with my black pencil skirt or black pants, so I put myself into this situation. I love the first and third blouses, especially.
Thanks!
