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.
The bootie makes me cringe. shudder

I love the Vince Camuto Miki Bootie. It's so functional. I didn't think I could pull off this look but these could be worn with so much!
Wow. I'm drooling over the Elizabeth and James pair. Great choice. Wish I could afford them.
Am I the only one who hates this trend passionately? I will admit, though, that it is most passable in a light beige.
@Emma … I used to. Then I saw these nude Jimmy Choos https://bit.ly/cFuICo that are close … and I'm starting to be swayed.

Am I the only one who thinks toeless booties make absolutely no sense whatsoever? This post disappoints.
Aberns-
Flip through a Sept. Issue, most things in fashion don't make any sense at all. Short sleeve sweaters? Sheer cotton shirts? Fashion is supposed to be fun and creative.
All-
I used to feel the way you do about booties, then they grew on me. That happens sometimes.
@aberns, do peep toe pumps make no sense to you either? I am partial to the Vince Camutos.
