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. Â (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.
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.

I just purchased this silk blouse from Loft and LOVE it! It looks like 3/4 sleeves in the picture, but it's long sleeves. They also have it in a maroon color… Plus, it's on SALE 🙂
Will this blouse work for those of us with more generous busts? I normally struggle with button downs and was uncertain how this would lay with a collar to provide some space. Maybe you can address this in the different ways to wear it today?
If your button up blouses gap, you need to size up to accommodate your bust and have them tailored to fit the waist. The only way for you to know if this blouse will work for you is to try it on.
I'm new to Net-a-Porter. Why does the item not show up on the J.Crew web site, yet is (presumably) still available from Net-a-Porter? Not to mention there is a great promo going on now on the J. Crew site.
J.Crew makes a special collection for Net-a-Porter. They don't sell most of these items at regular J.Crew stores.
I've been eyeing a very similar shirt on J Crew's site for a long time. https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shirtstops/blouses/PRDOVR~58742/58742.jsp the two differences are that it's green and it's a blouse rather than a button down (which sounds like a big difference, but they're really very similar).
