You heard a tale of woe — cornerstone khakis now too baggy to wear that must be replaced — last week. The search for good khakis is probably, like the search for the perfect white blouse, a lifetime endeavor that never really stops, but rather intensifies and wanes as necessary and appropriate. The peplum … Read more
This post is a bonus post, not intended to take the place of a regularly-scheduled post. I am pinched for time, and therefore am only alerting you — in the briefest of terms — to the fact that you always, always, need a khaki dress and a white blouse and I found a … Read more

I had an idea recently: that I should wear a slinky black silk dress, belted, over jeans. To make something like this work, the dress needs to be very fluid, but substantial enough to cover the bumps of the jeans and blouse underneath. This dress is a heavy silk. A pair of Directrices, … Read more

Tomorrow is the first day of spring . . . purportedly. If I may be candid, I never loved the 2015 outfit. But one does have to get dressed everyday. The colors were right and the basic concept made sense, but there was something wrong with the silhouette. I have no objection to … Read more
