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 really like this white lace trend for spring and summer, but I'm not sure it's office appropriate. The middle dress in this set might work, but the top and bottom seem too short and too tight. Will you be showing us how to make this trend work for the office?
I am hoping this post is in response to a comment I left because it is the first post on my birthday! Thanks Belle!
Nina-Not every trend is appropriate for the office, lace dresses included. If you like lace, try a blouse. I'll post some ideas later this week.
HB-It was. Happy Birthday!
