Ask Allie: Shapewear and Other Underpinnings

  Hi Allie, I’m wondering if you have good resources for bigger undergarments? Thank you. Thank you for asking this.

On Making it Work (and when to give up)

I said it before, but it bears repeating…   It’s not worth it to “make it work.” The other day I wore this skirt. While it looked cute in the photos, and even in my full-length mirror, it wasn’t a good choice for me. A tad shorter than I feel comfortable wearing, and a very…

I have a question regarding family pictures. We have an extended family picture coming up and we have been asked to wear any combination of khaki, white, and jean.

Dear Allie, I was going through some pre-pregnancy clothes that now fit and found a bunch of cropped dress pants. Would they still be stylish?? They are nice brands, but that could be an over trend for all I know. One pair has a wide leg that falls a bit below the knee; the others…

What’s In My Bag? Clutch Edition

Yesterday I carried a clutch to work and a reader emailed me asking, How can you carry such a small bag to work? My work bag is almost the size of a suitcase to hold all I need, and yesterday there was a chance of rain in DC. I’d love to see what is in…

Ask Allie: What to Wear When Losing Weight

What do you feel is worth saving after weight loss? I have never used a tailor outside of formal dresses. I am in the midst of losing weight, but as I start dropping the pounds, I am curious as to if it is cheaper to tailor old clothes or just buy new ones. -M I…

The Current State of the Closet

Every so often I like to give you a peek into my closet to see what I am working with, how I organize it. A lot has changed since the last time I did a detailed collection post – biggest thing is I have lost weight. Returning to a comfortable size, I am able to…
