Want to add a little color to your interview suit? I find that jewel tones are always a good choice.

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!
And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
Love the JCrew blouse – wish it weren’t out of my price range!
Belle, do you have any experience with Everlane blouses? They have some beautiful jewel tones.
I have two. Sometimes, I think the styles are too short. But I think the quality is good.
I’m terrible at layering, and have always wondered how you get loose sleeves like most of these blouses have to stay straight and ‘right’ under a jacket, or sweater or whatever. Whenever I layer I’m constantly tugging on this or that to get it to stay in the right place. Luckily I live in a warm climate where I don’t have to do often, but I love the look just not the experience.
I have a similar one in black, I´m in love with it hahaha

Ugh, love the look of that J Crew blouse. Wish it wasn’t so pricey.
The Loft has a similar option in pink: https://www.loft.com/bow-neck-blouse/364474?colorExplode=false&skuId=18024302&catid=catl000011&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=3197&CID=aff_7078679 and Ann Taylor in blue: https://www.anntaylor.com/crepe-tie-neck-blouse/360099?colorExplode=false&skuId=17921596&catid=cata00008&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=0851&CID=aff_7078679
(Don’t work for either company or own either top – so not much more insight. I’ve just been looking at tie-neck tops recently).
It’s J.Crew, they’ll be a sale. If Ben Franklin lived in 2015, he could count on death, taxes, and a J.Crew sale.
Belle, on the JCrew blouse I’m also curious about the sizing, if your wouldn’t mind sharing when you review. Good luck on your interview!
