I love the idea of borrowing a shirt from G's side of the closet—in theory, wearing one of his tailored shirts with skinny jeans and pumps sounds like the perfect casual, but sexy outfit. In practice, I more often looked like a slouchy, potentially hungover mess. Pretty much the opposite of sexy-cute. This blouse from Rag & Bone has the look and feel of a man's tailored shirt, but plays with the off-the-shoulder trend in a sophisticated, preppy way. When worn with skinny jeans and pumps it creates a polished (not laughable) borrowed-from-the-boys look for Saturday afternoon oysters with friends. Looks like G's shirts are safe for now.

It's the time of year when simple dresses take precedence over everything else—those pieces I can slip into, no accessories required. This navy blue shirtdress looks like something I'd pull out of G's side of the closet and is as comfortable as one of his shirts, but the little ...read more
