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 love this for fall! Especially the piece from Talbots.
That Isabel Marant number is divine. Now if only my budget could absorb such a hit…
If you're taking berry-colored requests, what about a pair of hot pink or berry pumps for fall? I love punches of color with otherwise neutral outfits and I'm already dreaming of a September full of gray herringbone and pink.
I hear you, Ms. C – the drape on the Marant is fabulous. I like the Talbots, but it seems a little more casual to me.
@Ms. C – don't know what you're looking for exactly but here's a few options

you can always just search on shopstyle or polyvore if you're looking for something like that.
