Isabella Oliver High-Waisted Pencil ($93)
I’ve been craving a bright pink pencil skirt since last summer. This skirt is perfect for a casual work day or for those of you who work in a funkier environment like an ad agency, a pr firm or other creative business. Check back at 1:00PM for Two Ways to wear the skirt.
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.
I've been craving a bright pencil skirt as well, but $93 is a little too much to spend. Do you have a cheaper version you could recommend?
I LOVE my hot pink pencil skirt, but definitely save it for days we're not in session.
Caroline – I'd try The Limited and New York and Company for brights. If you're a 6 or a 10, this one is on sale: https://www.thelimited.com/High-Waist-Stretch-Sateen-Skirt/7103409,default,pd.html?dwvar_7103409_colorCode=574&start=3&ppid=c3&cgid=sale-skirts
Thanks Shannon! Too bad I'm a 2– my size never goes on sale. 🙁
