A big request that comes in my mailbag is suggestions for work-appropriate flats. I’m glad to see such requests, because not every flat is created equal. I hate to burst your bubble, but standard issue ballet flats and the patent elastic-backed flats do not give an air of professionalism, no matter the brand name. Not… Continue Reading Flat Work Shoes for Fall and Winter
As a woman with curves, one of the hardest wardrobe staples to find that fits properly is a white shirt. It pulls at the buttons, and if it doesn’t, it’s usually too big in the shoulders and neck.

As soon as September comes I start thinking about boots. I can go without sweaters and scarves and pumpkin spice lattes, but I miss my tall boots. For many years, I was jealous of others for they were able to snag great tall boots, and my large calves and shins made it impossible. I purchased… Continue Reading My Favorite Wide Calf Boot Resources
