10th Commandment: January 11

Jan 11, 2013

I love a nice pencil skirt, Lord knows that I do.  But a woman cannot live by pencil skirts alone.  

Sequin miniskirts are a good option if you’re looking for something to wear to a party other than a dress.  I would pair it with a sleeveless silk shell or a gray silk blouson top for a fresh look.  Or if you’d like something modern and sleek, try a tank with a sharp cut.

Plus size? This is the closest skirt I could find.  It’s $25 and has a flapper feel to it.

Elected Official

Embellished Dreamcatcher Skirt ($189)

Hill Staffer

Gianni Bini Pelican Skirt ($109)

Paid Intern

Embellished Miniskirt ($59)

Please don’t pair this skirt with a pastel, plaid button down shirt.  I have no idea what they were thinking.

    Too funny that you posted this today! I ordered the Express skirt last week and it was delivered this morning.

    I did the sparkly mini skirt and blouson top combination for a party last weekend; it's such a nice change from the usual cocktail dress! I don't know how many sequined skirts one girl needs, but I'm lusting after that elected official version…

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.
