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 LOVE Splendid so much but always have a hard time making it seem “work appropriate”, as it's really pretty casual stuff…can't wait to see what you do with this dress, would love to be able to have some of my splendid stuff do double duty!
I'm loving this dress and can totally see it as work appropriate. Thanks for a great find.
To make this work appropriate: I would wear grey tights and booties?/boots. I'd add a navy blazer, probably a wool, schoolboy style, some bracelets and maybe a belt.
Maybe I am in the dark about this one, but now that it's fall and I have started wearing tights, I need to know what the proper foundational garments are for wearing an unlined dress such as this. What do you wear underneath the dress that doesn't look like it came out of your grandmother's drawer so that it does not rub against your tights and migrate up the front of your legs when you are walking? I've noticed other women in this city have the same problem. It looks like static cling…but it's just tights cling.
