Twist Detail Waist Belt (BCBG, $38)
Wide, stretchy belts like this one are great for creating an hourglass shape because they really define the waist. They cinch cardigans, add interest to sundresses and class up a basic sheath dresses.
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.

Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.
I Want!
Stretch belts have definitely become my go-to to make my winter clothes look less bulky!
Is it ok to belt over a cardigan with buttons? Should the cardigan be buttoned/closed with the belt over it? I can never seem to get it to look right?
Love the texture! I'm adding to my Want List…
