I like elbow length gloves for two reasons: they keep me warm on drafty days and they have a chic, vintage feel to them. If you’re looking to buy a pair, and want to save some money, try discount stores like TJ Maxx and vintage stores, as long as the lining is in good shape a vintage pair may be your best bet. They also make great gifts for the fashionista who has everything.

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 – have you seen any smart touch gloves that aren't hideous? I would love to find a pair for a friend but all I ahve seen so far are not so pretty.
Thanks –
Ann – after searching through lots of pretty ugly smart touch gloves, I just bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas: https://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12772729&cp=2446815.1831968&parentPage=family
They have a women's version, too: https://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12818037&cp=2446812.1831951&parentPage=family
Also, not smart touch, but I bought these for my mom last year and she loved them, plus they're a great price today: https://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12988510&cp=2446812.1831951&parentPage=family
For Ann:
Re: smart-touch gloves. A few years ago, I found a nice-looking pair at LouLou. However, they may not sell them anymore. Last winter I went looking again for them there and didn't see the exact pair that I got. Maybe they will bring them back.
Thanks for the links, EmZ, and the Lou Lou info Anonymous – very helpful!
Belle,
i have been meaning to ask this:
do you still do Friday discussions? If you have stopped, I will be the lone voice in the room and say that I miss them!
