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.
LOVE the intern outfit! I think that’s the best looking of all the price points.
Nice, although I’m not sure of the wisdom in dressing your elected official like a jailbird…
Cute, but I’m officially over stripes. I have two striped tees, but I fear they have read the “fad” level of saturation. So, no more.
Also see this dress at H&M that’s only $19.95. (I know the site is in Swedish, but they don’t have a US shop online site. I promise I bought it at an H&M in LA, though.)
