Three questions:
Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.
Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
1. not a chance
2. yes
3. irrelevant due to my answer to #1
1. Possibly. She DOES have access to constant hair care via her bff Ken Paves and can afford to get and use regular skin treatments. If she got a quarterly/biannual facial like the rest of us, I would say no way is she not wearing makeup. However, she is impeccably groomed and taken care of every other day.
2. Yes
3. Probably add a little lip color.
Hair and product free? Quite possibly. Photoshop free? Not a chance.
If I could have my image photoshopped live . . . of course I would go without hair product and makeup!
She’s got a pinkish hue to her cheeks and a glow to her skin that is just NOT natural! I rarely wear makeup so the thought of getting my picture taken without it doesn’t really phase me. The good thing about not habitually wearing makeup is that when you do wear it people thing you look AMAZING! The inverse is true if you wear it all the time and then you step out without it.
PS: I do look that good without makeup. 🙂 Well, maybe I could use a haircut. This matron due I’m sporting isn’t doing much for me. And to commenter #1’s point, a facial probably wouldn’t kill me either!
1. No. That lip color doesn’t look like it would be her natural, plus I feel like she has at least tinted moisturizer on. Hair, maybe. Also, is this supposed to be no touchups, too?
2. My skintone sucks so I at least need tinted moisturizer.
3. Only when dressing up. I wish.
1. yeah, i do actually. i think the photography and lighting is just really flattering
2. sure, if i had a great photographer to do the picture!
3. no way, i love playing with make up–it’s one of the best parts of being a woman! maybe that’s why sephora gets way too much of my income…
Maybe she’s natural– but with amazing lighting, and a great photographer
I agree with M! No make up – possible, but probably not. No Photoshop? No way.
Also, I don’t know if it’s the hair across her face of if I’ve skipped too many weeks of People Magazine, but she doesn’t really look like herself, does she? which is why the “this is my natural look” thing is even more confusing!
It doesn’t really look like her, but maybe it is because her eyebrows are so dark?
1. I looked at pictures of her with makeup on, and the difference i noticed was the freckles near her neck dont seem to show in pictures with makeup…so maybe?
2. sure…I tend to have decent skin so it wouldn’t be horrible.
3. and yes because I enjoy make up and I like how I feel when I wear it.
She has so much hair in her face, how can we really tell?
