Factory Knit Stripe Blazer (J.Crew, $94.50)
A knit jersey blazer is a surprisingly versatile addition to your wardrobe. I bought one last year at a consignment shop thinking that I would wear it a couple of times. I wore it nearly a half-dozen times in one month. I was amazed at how well it transitioned from fall to spring and casual to office.

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.
This blazer just answered the question I was going to ask you today! I'm going to the Congressional Women's softball game tomorrow night for the first time and wasn't quite sure what the dress code was. I'm thinking that if I bring something like this to throw over a simple tank and white jeans, I'm good!
Any other tips?
Just bought it! If you use the promo code SHOPNOW, you can get 30% off. With shipping and tax, I got it for about $80.
Ah, the joys of consignment shopping. That's all I have to contribute.
