Dear Belle, I saw the BCBG belt you posted to your Instagram last week.  I love it, but it’s beyond my budget.  Do you have any suggestions for belts that are similarly ornate and under-$25, $50 at the most.   Love the blog! SR Belts are a great way to jazz up a dress that […]

Hi Belle! I’m a lobbyist by day and law student by night. I have an interview with a BigLaw firm coming up this month, and I’m looking for a nice suit to help me dress the part. However, I’d obviously love to get something that can be worn after the interview too, an ensemble that’s not […]

Hello, I just started a new job on the Senate side, and my new boss is much more conservative than my old boss when it comes to dressing for work.  I need two or three new suits just to make it through the summer.  Where do you shop for non-designer suits?  Please don’t say Ann […]

Dear Belle, I am headed to the beach with my family for the 4th.  I’m really excited for a few days out of D.C., but I cannot find a swimsuit.  After two kids, my body isn’t really built for a two-piece anymore and the one pieces I tried on were either boring or cut for […]

Hi Belle! Love your blog!  I’m hoping you can help me.  I recently bought this pair of yellow chino pants from Zara.  Apart from a white top I don’t know what else to pair them with.  I intend on wearing them to work.  For some context: I am a 31-year-old and work at a non-profit in […]

Hi Belle, Love your blog! I’m always on the hunt for a good summer espadrille wedge. I’ve had a hard time finding the right shoe because I tend to think platform wedges look clunky and often aren’t appropriate for even more casual summer events at my law firm. Any recommendations would be so helpful! -CC […]

Hi Belle, I’m a ring addict, you’re a ring addict, I need your help.  Have you seen any rings that you just can’t live without?  My fingers could use a few new adornments.  Gold, silver, or rose gold, anything will do.  I cannot wait to see what you pick. Sincerely, Cho

Hi Belle, I’ve been out shopping for summer clothes recently, and bought a silk cami that will be great for dressing up outfits a bit.  However, regular bras and bralettes look weird under it; I think my best bet will be nipple covers (I don’t really have the money to replace my strapless bra right now, and […]

Hi Belle, After gaining a little weight in my lower half, many of my sheath work dresses are slightly more snug than usual. Not bodycon by any means, but enough to make me question if it looks inappropriate for work. Do you have a rule of thumb for assessing how tight or loose a sheath dress […]
