Hi Abra, I cannot tell you how much I love your blog. In particular, the Facebook group offers such a depth of empathy and kindness. I am starting law school in the fall after working in a professional setting for several years. As I transition my wardrobe, do you have any suggestions for casual pieces […]

Over the next few weeks, there will be a few changes at Capitol Hill Style.  A new design.  Some new features.  A bit or reorganizing. All of these changes are designed to breathe a bit of life into the blog.  Nothing too drastic, just some sprucing up.  Because after five years, it’s time for a […]

Belle, I was wondering if you would would be willing to post some wardrobe advice if you had some time and needed a blog topic.  I have a conference for work next week in South Beach, Florida.  The attire is supposedly “business casual” for 3 days of conferneces and social events and such.  As I’ve […]

Hi Belle, I work at a large law firm where the dress code is suits, suits and oh, suits.  Women are required to wear nylons when not wearing slacks.  Nail polish must be clear of sheer pink.  The partners recently decided to implement their version of “Casual Friday.”  Men are excused from wearing ties and […]

I receive a lot of reader e-mail asking how to create a wardrobe from the ground up from women who want to be stylish, but they just don’t know where to start. Over the next three days, I’m going to show you the easy pieces that I think comprise a well edited wardrobe.  Today, I’ll […]
