A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.
Welcome to the warm weather months. Outside, you will roast. Inside, you will freeze. The air conditioning will be your constant nemesis, as it “conditions” the air to a temperature that is primarily suitable for men. Luckily, this cardigan can keep you warm even when your fiery resentment wanes.
Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]

This week has been an absolute bear, so let’s reach into the reader mail bag and answer some questions. And let’s start with a post about affordable summer bags.
Sending great powers of concentration, memory and analysis, hope you sail through it!
Good luck! You’ve got this!
Wishing you the best of luck – we are all cheering for you from our many corners!

I’m glad you’re taking time away from the blog. Good luck!

You are so brave – just the idea of sitting for another bar exam (not to mention all the work while actually working!) is too much for me! Hope everything goes smoothly. You’ve got this!
Good luck! You got this, lady.
Best of luck to you! You are a rock star for taking another bar exam. I almost withdrew my application to waive in to the Washington bar when I found out I would have to take the Washington Law Component test, and that’s open book! Taking another bar exam is a whole other level of impressiveness. We’re rooting for you!
Wishing you the best of luck and sending all of the good vibes!!!
Good Luck!
Best of luck! Get some puppy cuddles in during your study breaks – that always helps me!
best of luck! You’ve got this and we are all rooting for you!

You’re going to pass the bar, I’m sure of it. 🙂
Good luck!
You’ll do great! Sending you our best!

You will be fine. Memory from BAR-BRI: topic was mens rea – example: husband-wife are fighting, he grabs gun, shoots her, she dies.Class discussion ensues. “Yeah, but what if he only wanted to wing her?”
Sending love & encouragement.
