As we observe a moment of silence for July (and try not to panic that it’s almost Fall), it’s time to start thinking about pieces that will transition into the cooler weather. Today, we have a jersey dress that is perfect with sandals for an al fresco brunch or with a denim jacket and flat boots for a picnic in the park.
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.

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.
Love it! I've been eyeing this dress for a few weeks but have resisted because of the price. Do you think I could get the same summer/fall versatility out of the pink color?
LS: absolutely yes. I bought this dress several years ago when they last had it in stock, and have worn it summer, fall, and spring…it all depends on the other clothing and shoes you wear with it. The jersey is solid enough that with tights and boots and a jacket in the fall it will be warm enough.
P.S. I wear this dress so much that I am buying it again in two different colors.
I also have this dress and it is super comfortable. Very glad I bought it this year (in a berry color).
Went to anthropolygie – Belle, you must have quite a following because the dress in my color of choice and size is not available. (Sigh)
