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.

They may be sparkly and cute, but those Louboutin's just look like stripper heels to me. Not the most cinstructive comment, but thought i'd post based on your last tweet.
I adore the Chinese Laundry, but don't quite know how to wear them …
I wasn't talking about my own blog. CHS does fine in the comments considering half of my readers are on the RSS feed only. There are two DC blogs that consistently brag about their high traffic but they have no comments. It makes no sense.

I think these shoes would look spectacular with an off white dress. Something flowy or pleated in chiffon. A subtle dress with a kickin' shoe.
Of these, the Chinese Laundry pair is my favorite. The other two pairs look too much like stripper heels to me.
