I’m always searching for classics. What can I buy that will look good years from now? I don’t need trendy flings, I need staples. And this style of show has definitely become a classic.

Several of you have sent e-mails and DMs asking for more business casual and casual work attire for women in senior roles and management. Offices are leaving professional attire behind in favor of denim and what one reader described as “dressy workout clothes.” So how do you dress like the boss when you need to […]
Are you tired of Gift Guides, yet? Yesterday, I got one from my accountant. My accountant. And I like Rick, but I am not so hard up for suggestions that anyone will find a one-year subscription to Quicken under the tree. But because how much we love and like people is not determined by how […]
This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss. Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner? In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin. But in my 40s, my skin […]
Whyyyyy are those $350? I love them so much! Great picks.
I have a pair of cap toe LK Bennett’s that 8 wore and wore and wore and had them repaired so many t8mes. F8nally found a pair of classic Prada’s on TRR a month ago. Wardrobe staple!
Abra, you will be the best-dressed professional woman in the entire MT Capitol building, whatever your choices may be.
The casualness and just plain poor taste of the dress code here continues to surprise me–just when I think it can’t get any worse, someone new comes around the corner.
Cattiness aside, I love where I live, the people here are just plain THE BEST, and wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else on earth, but I do wish we could learn to put ourselves together better.
My suggestion to you is to use your celebrity credits and have a ‘professional fashion/dressing’ educational evening or Sunday afternoon session for Capitol staff women (like you won’t have anything else to do) to brainstorm how we can look better on a budget. Trust me, you’ll leave the place better than what you’ve found it.
Wishing you all the best…
