10th Commandment: September 26

Sep 26, 2012

Elected Official

3.1 Phillip Lim Leather Sleeve Top ($795)

Hill Staffer

Aiko Leather Sleeve Tee (Intermix, $198)

Paid Intern

Top in Knit and Leather-like Sleeves (Asos, $44)

Leather accents and trims are hot this fall.  However, leather can be expensive and I know some of you prefer not to wear it for ethical reasons.  So this top from Theory gives you a similarly edgy look without the leather for under $100.

    I really love this trend and am pretty bummed out to be too pregnant to pull it off right now. Good choices, Belle!

    I'm not a fan of this look/trend at all. However, so glad you posted the option from Asos. As much as I don't like the look, seeing it “on a person” as opposed to just the item itself, it looks a little better. Would this look be office appropriate? It seems either too casual or too risky a look for many a Washington offices?

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
