10th Commandment: June 18

Jun 18, 2010

I think silk racerback tanks are a must have.  You can wear them under blazers and cardigans and pair them with your pencil skirt for a dinner out.  They are the perfect day to night blouse.

    What kind of bra do you wear under these shirts? Thanks.

  2. EAC says:

    A racer-back bra, of course. Or, (although not for the office), a bra that coordinates with the top that you are wearing, and let the straps show.

  3. Belle says:

    Visible straps…ach…my eyes. No visible straps. For this top you have three options:

    Raceback bra.

    Strap perfect on a regular bra.

    Strapless.

    Oh, make that four…NuBra stick on.

    But is racerback acceptable in the office? I’m in law school, so maybe I’m more conservative … but I do LOVE the idea under a blazer that does not come off.

  5. Belle says:

    I almost always (maybe once on August Recess I didn’t) wear this style under something. then it’s good for after work happy hours.

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.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

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.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

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.
