This V-neck blouse at Uniqlo has a bunch of positive reviews, comes in four colors, and is only $19.90. I’ve heard a lot of great things about how people love Uniqlo’s washable blouses and how they hold up — and many of the reviewers note that they’re soft, they don’t wrinkle, and so on. If you’re looking for a basic blouse to wear underneath a suit, this is a good bet, and I think this would work with high-waisted looks like we’ve been featuring lately, or just layered underneath a cardigan. It is a little bit on the drapey side as opposed to fitted — which can be a good thing — and I like the V-neck and the almost elbow-length sleeves. It comes in sizes XXS–XXL. Note that Uniqlo also has a great tweed jacket right now for $79.90. Pictured: Drape V-Neck Short-Sleeve Blouse

Two plus-size options are available in dark blue (Macy’s) and ivory (Saks OFF 5th).

Moderation Update: I really value this community, as I know you guys do, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to address the complicated issues we’ve been having (whether via a post or policy page update, a Facebook Live Q&A, or a readers survey). The old system for moderation has not been working so well lately both due to 1) tech problems caused by software updates and changes in response to new European privacy laws, 2) troll problems, and 3) civility problems, and for the past few weeks we have been testing new systems to see what’s feasible for us and what works. (For those of you who don’t think it’s been that bad, you haven’t seen the comments we’ve deleted.)  I haven’t wanted to update anything officially because we’re just testing different things right now, and no changes are yet permanent, particularly because we still have a changing tech environment. Starting today, we’re testing a new system that will allow comments with email addresses to get through unmoderated — but only after you’ve you’ve had one comment attached to that email address manually approved. Note that your email address will not be published, your user name can still be anonymous, and you can read our full Privacy Policy here. (Unfortunately, note that if you were previously in the moderation queue for violations of our commenting policy, you will still end up in the moderation queue.) If you’d prefer to stay totally anonymous and not add an email address, then we’re doing our best to keep the moderation queue moving as quickly as possible. To recap: I love the community as much as you guys do, and we’re doing our best to give you the best user experience possible. Thank you for your patience, and for reading!

We’ve been posting lot of bootcuts lately, and it’s worth noting that the OGs of bootcuts, the Editor and the Columnist at Express, are still going strong, in both basic and fun colors. This twill pink option (Editor) is really fun if you want to add a dose of Elle Woods to your day. (The pants, which are machine washable, also come in a dark blue.) You could wear them with neutrals as well as contrasting and complimenting colors — like red as pictured, or black, navy, white, beige, gray, dark green, dark purple, and so on. The pants come in regular, short, and long in sizes 00–18, and they’re $79.90 full price. Right now, there’s a sale: buy one get one 50% off. Low Rise Twill Barely Boot Editor Pant

Psst: There’s also a great asymmetrical-neck sheath dress that’s selling out quickly.

Macy’s has some wine-colored bootcut pants (also machine washable) that come in plus sizes.

Happy Wednesday! This floral batik dress from Michael Michael Kors looks very pretty without being too twee or too girly for work. I like the navy color, as well as the small floral print (which can be more flattering than a big print), and I think the cutouts at the sleeves are interesting without drawing too much attention. The dress has a hidden back zip and is machine washable. We’re picturing the plus-size version, which is available at Zappos, Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Dillards for $110, and there’s also an option in straight sizes for $98 at Nordstrom. Abstract Batik Floral Dress

Tech Update: Thank you guys for your patience! Some of the latest updates to WordPress are causing problems with the theme; our tech team is looking into short-term solutions until we can get the redesign done. (We’re in the home stretch of what’s been a really long process so it should be soon!)
