The Find: A Subtly Spangled Top

Nov 5, 2019

It’s November, and ready or not, the holidays are nearly upon us.  Some parties will be filled with cocktail dresses, but most are more casual.  This Ann Taylor blouse has a light shimmer that makes it a lovely choice for low-key festivities.

I adore this Shimmer Dash Smocked Top ($90).  The sleeves, the smocked neckline, the print, it’s all good.  The top has a wonderful moody feel to it.

So how would I wear it?

Let’s say I had a post-work holiday party.  I would wear this top to the office with a navy pencil skirt and a navy crewneck sweater.  That way only the shimmery neckline and cuffs would peek out.  For evening, I would take off the sweater, add a moto jacket, some black ankle boots, and more eyeliner.

This blouse also comes in petite and tall sizes.  Plus?  I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, but this foil-accented Michael Kors blouse in ivory has a similar feel.

    I have been loving a lot of navy this season, but don’t know what to do when it gets colder. Black tights and booties? Tall brown boots? Gray or navy tights? (with what kind of shoes?)… Thank you!

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.
