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.
The first one is pretty, but I feel like the last two would make one look a bit homely.
Agreed. First is very pretty, while the last two remind me of my mom's goodwill pile at home. Guess you have to pay for good quality.
I think the last two could be pretty paired with the right things…the sweater they put with the Zara skirt is heinous and makes the skirt look frumpy!
I once had a pleated skirt but couldn't figure out how to keep the skirt clean AND keep the pleats without ironing the pleats back in by hand each time the skirt came back from the dry cleaner. What's the secret??
