For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

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.

How To Wear It, Posts, Style | April 17, 2024
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.

I got a great cape from the Nordstrom sale and I have been waiting for the arrival of fall weather ever since just so I can wear it! (Well, also because i love fall weather, but still.) A few friends (mostly male) made fun of me for buying it; I will have to show them this post!
I would love to know your opinion on coat lengths and skirt lengths: is it okay to wear a pencil skirt that hits just above the knee with a coat that hits higher, at mid-thigh? I used to always do this but now I'm starting to think it's unflattering on me, and I'm trying to decide whether to buy a shorter peacoat to wear with pencil skirts. I think a lot of people are undecided and if you look at coats online, you almost invariably see the models wearing pants or skirts that are shorter than the coat.
Love these! I've been on the hunt for a belted cape in camel or black, under $250. Has anyone seen one around?
B, this one is on page 4 of Belle's Shopstyle widget:

(I only mention that it's on there because I'm not sure if Belle gets the credit based just off my link or if she needs you to click through in order to get credit if you wind up buying it.)
I love the Tahari one, and it's named after you! 🙂
