Capitol Hill Style, a fashion blog for professional women, celebrates its seventh birthday today. Born out of restlessness during an uneventful August recesses, “Belle” became inspired to create a blog for women who want to dress for success without sacrificing personal style.

Notes of feminism appear throughout the blog, as Belle addresses the difficulties women face to feel feminine and comfortable in their work-place attire and also be taken seriously by their colleagues.

She gives tips, tricks, and advice to women of all shapes and sizes with budgets both high and low.

Belle moved to Washington, D.C. in 2004 to pursue a career on Capitol Hill and founded the blog four years later in 2008. “Today, Capitol Hill Style is 7 years old. Where does the time go? Thank you to all the readers and followers who keep it going!” –@CapHillStyle
