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.

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.
Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.

Sometimes, you just want to wear something pretty to the office. Something that makes you feel good. A dress that makes your whole day better. These are those dresses.
What kind of bra do you wear under these shirts? Thanks.
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.
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.
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.
