Metallic evening shoes will save your life. They can be worn with virtually any cocktail outfit, without the need to buy new shoes for every occasion.

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.

Those are so cute! I agree – i go with metallic for any evening events and it lets me get away with only having one real pair of evening shoes. Just wanted to give a quick thanks to Belle for the recommendation on the Commando tights – after some hunting (Nordstrom at Pentagon City was sold out – i”m assuming the Belle effect??) I got a pair and have to say they are great! So comfortable and the no waistband thing is great – can't believe no one thought of it sooner!
I've been experiencing the “Belle Effect” on several posted items. And I guess that is a good thing, that means things in DC are on the up-trend. Great shoes for a great price Belle.
Guess I'd better run out and get these now to avoid “Belle Effect.” Love this suggestion!!
I managed to find the Commando tights on amazon.. haven't been blown away by them though. They don't pinch at all, but then they tend to sag which is annoying.
Sagging? That's a new one.
Yeah, I'm wondering if I'm between sizes.. these just don't stay up.
I don't know whether to bless you or curse you . . . I just purchased these!
AND, I found a $20 coupon. yay!
Yay metallic shoes! Similarly, I love these Steve Madden Glitter pumps.
