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.
Does anybody have any experience with the quality/fit/comfort of Sam Edelmans? I've been looking for a sandal very much like these, but was going to budget up to $100 … Thanks!
KLo – I have two pairs of flat beaded sandals from Sam Edelman. They have held up very well (both pairs are three years old), haven't lost any of the beads or anything and the soles are still in good shape too. They fit pretty true to size for me – I wear a 7.5, my roommate thinks they're a tiny bit narrow, but her foot is wider than mine… Hope that helps! -C
Mine were only $60 (Gigi, I think; a more simple flat T strap). I wore them A LOT and they held up well all last summer.
I have been eyeballing a similar style in this pair of Lela Rose for Payless for a few weeks now…but I am weary that they will be uncomfortable and that I should just go for the Sam Edelmans.
