The crazy thing is the SF trip came first — you’d think I’d remember to undo that shirt button the second time around, but in DC it just felt scandalous!
Having grown up in DC and also worked in a corporate environment there for many years, I feel you on the style. It’s hard! And the extra button on the shirt did make a huge difference. Question - do you wear a cami/tank under for work? This is partly why I wear more button downs casually than for work - don’t want to inadvertently flash anyone!
I’ll also say I have small boobs post kids, and so a black plain bralette is fine and gives the vibe of a top if a glimpse is seen. Back when I had C cups and wore proper bras, I wouldn’t have been able to do the same, likely would have needed a top underneath. Which kind of changes up the vibe of the fit!
Love this so much! “Be where your feet are”, so true so thank you for writing that. Your kids know they have the best mom with the sexiest voice ever 😉
Another amazing travel recap! Seeing the difference between the same outfit in SF and DC is wild!! Goes to show styling details are everything.

Good question. I do not wear a top underneath. But, that felt fine in SF and embarrassing in DC. So!

I legit have to repeat it to myself during moments of overwhelm 🥴
You are doing the best you can! And that’s ok
