The Ten Spot: A Capitol Hill Style roundup of things Belle loved, bought, or bookmarked

The useful part

This is the first time in my life where I have ever thought I might want to try being a man for a while, you know, just to see. Because I only have a one hour lunch break and I need to use 30-minutes of it for my daughter's laundry. My favorite t-shirt is $90 (I know, I know), but you can now buy two for $145.

How it works

• Varley has managed to make cardigan twin sets modern — this one is, and somehow, relaxed.
• September 16, 2026 at 5:42 pm A senior consultant I work with wore satin pants to a client meeting this week.
• They feel like luxe pajamas and that might make me feel weird around coworkers.
• September 18, 2026 at 1:15 pm I loved your writing, and am going to block out 30 minutes on my calendar for this Sunday to work on a closet clean-out.
• I feel bad for the moms now with school drop off being like a fashion show.

What to take from it

As such, I have never been able to use a paper calendar and notebook with any consistency because I hate the look of my own handwriting. Tower28 is slowly curing the problem without over-drying my skin. My youth was filled with trauma around being the student with bad handwriting.

Example or evidence

• I've been practicing my writing and decided to take the leap and buy this customizable journal.
• New shampoo/conditioner led to dry hair and a massive breakout on my chest.
• It's been a couple of years since I've had body acne, and it was a bit demoralizing to be dealing with it again.

Details worth keeping

Things I Loved, Bought or Bookmarked Sep 16, 2026 Style I started hormone therapy in the spring, and the improvement to my daily headaches has been night and day, but there seems to be no cure for the week after my period when I feel like I am crawling through life, agitated and exhausted. Perimenopause is not for the weak, and this is the pre-show. Cleanse your timeline, watch a video of a puppy getting its first bath.
