This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

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.

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.

Belle, I was wondering when these were going to arrive on the blog! However, as much as I've seen them worn well, I've also seen some minor disasters walking to the DC streets in these. Perhaps a what to do and what NOT to do is in order?
I just bought a pair! Love them! I agree with Danae, some tips on wearing them well would be much appreciated.
Just an interesting piece of trivia, this type of two toned boot is traditionally a man's boot. It designates a man entitled to wear the colors of his hunt. A lady awarded colors wears black boot with black patent tops. No that it matters for fashion but my family rides and both my father and husband always point this out when they see this type of boot on women so I always wear solid boots. It made me smile when I saw these today. Have a great week!
A question for all readers – can you speak to the quality of Banana Republic shoes? I typically don't buy shoes from stores that are primarily clothing stores because I worry the quality will be sub-par.
@E, I have no idea how BR shoes are (any shoes that aren't leather always make me a little nervous). If you're looking for a similar boot in a similar price range as the pair Belle posted from BR but in a little better quality, take a look at these from DSW
