Many moons ago, when I started this blog, the first item I ever featured in a post was a Burberry trench. I labeled it a D.C. Essential. Today, I’m posting a slightly different essential, a pink trench. Because spring is coming, and I need some color.

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.

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.
This isn’t pink — its lavender — but seems like it would be a good option

I bought this in the blush-khaki (Rosewood) and love it. It hangs well and the material has a good weight. It runs slightly large, though, so if you’re between sizes and don’t intend to wear it over bulky clothes, you may want to size down.
