Eyelet Peplum Blouse (Anthropologie, $88)
Want to wear this peplum blouse? Try some high-waisted, slightly wide-legged pants in navy or chocolate brown. Add a cropped cardigan/jacket and some resin bracelets, and voila, outfit.
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.
Thank you! I love the shape of these, but the twee silhouette on its own seems too young for work. Your suggested styling is like someone turned on a lightbulb – duh, of course! Thanks Belle.
Beautiful blouse! Tempted to order. I have a question, I personally view eyelet only appropriate for spring/summer, am I wrong?
Too cute. I wish everything at Anthro cost about 50% of what it does. They always seem to be just slightly out of my grad student/low on the ladder hill staff budget.
Montana-I think in this color it's more of a texture than a Summer fabric.
C- You could also do a pencil skirt and a belt.
