Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.

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.

I think I like the “Unpaid Intern” version the best. These are beautiful Belle!
Those are such pretty dresses! They just wouldn't look right with my body type, unfortunately. A girl can dream, though!
I really like the Kay Unger one! It makes me wonder if I could pull off a red dress like that at a fed office building…
Belle, why did you have to tease me? That Dorothy Perkins dress is out of stock. (pouty face)
Hi fiiiiiiive! I'm overseas right now… if you like these, try searching some of the UK sites for peplum dresses and jackets as well. They've got fun ones. Thanks for the posts!
Oh ha, Dorothy Perkens. You're way ahead…
Ginny, I'm with you. These are lovely, but, unfortunately, they would all look dreadful on someone with my body type. Sigh.
You ladies might be surprised. I thought a peplum would look awful on me cause I'm a definite pear shape, but I tried one on in a size bigger than I usually wear, and once the salesgirl pinned the top up to fit me, it looked great.
