A Trip Down 95 to RVA

My husband and I took a trip down 95 to RVA to met up with some old college friends for the weekend.

Yes, I know how cliché that is and I’m not going to lie…I still own a pair and still wear those Uggz when I walkthe fur-baby below 30 degrees. Don’t judge.

I have a problem. I know that. But I don’t think I’m alone. I can’t be the only one questioning every outfit choice I make: Is this sweater too casual? Am I showing too much skin? Does this dress seem formal or does it cross into cocktail? The list goes on and on. Not only does my indecision make me late, it means I come home from a long day’s work to a room that’s a mess. Does this sound familiar? We need help! To help what is, and is not, appropriate in the work environment, we asked an expert, Belle of Capitol Hill Style, a “fashion blog for professional women who don’t want to sacrifice their sense of style for professional success.” I think we’re all familiar with DC’s terrible reputation for being too conservative and boring. If you live here, you know this is sometimes far […]
