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.
Belle – Love the hot pink, but I usually only bring in pinks in accessories, what is the best blush and lip color to wear with a cute hot pink blazer like one of these?? I usually wear a sheer hot pink blush, but I feel like that would be over kill here!
Also, for the unpaid intern crowd (or anyone really) JC Penny has come fabulous bright pieces right now. I just picked up a turquoise pencil skirt for $20 and a bright pink french-cuff button up for $14. Since I don't know exactly how long I'll be up for wearing such bright colors, I'm enjoying the smaller price tag on these.
Another option: Walter sale on Gilt right now. They have a blazer that's a little less hot pink, a little more coral but still makes a big statement – only $79.
