Morning Line: January 22

Jan 22, 2016

Being back in an office again is a strange feeling.  Dressing up each day is made a little easier by having a versatile shoe wardrobe.  They bring a bit of punch to otherwise staid separates.

I get a lot of wear, and a lot of compliments, on my leopard pumps.  Years ago, my Mother tried to convinced me that leopard was a good idea.  I wasn’t having it.  God, it hurts when she’s right.

    Technically, the top and bottom shoes are cheetah print; the middle shoe is leopard. 😉

    But they’re all lovely and, I agree, can definitely add the perfect kick to an outfit. I’m so sad to need to soon retire my leopard print Steve Madden pointed-toe skimmers — the were *perfect* (purrfect?).

    Funny that you mention your mother, because mine bought me a pair of leopard-print flats a while ago (“to spruce up your work clothes”). I didn’t think they were my style and avoided wearing them for a while. Then one day in a morning clothing rut, I put them on and was convinced.

    I think the key is to pair them with neutral, solid colors; that way it looks edgy rather than “inspired by the Real Housewives of Las Vegas.”

    • Not technically your mother says:

      +1 I also think this crazysexycool pattern in flats is a lot different – more corporate more professional – than in a great-looking pump.

    I just can’t make myself love them for me. I’ve seen them pulled off and look so damn chic, but I can’t bring myself to do it. Amusingly enough, I have a MUCH younger sister who wants All Leopard Everything.
    And I do mean *everything*.

    Tortoise, on the other hand, I definitely dig. I think you style it similarly.

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.
