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.

Fantastic Finds, Posts, Style | April 17, 2024
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’m not sure how I feel about this trend– it looks like women are wearing smocks over leather jackets.
Wow!!!! That first coat. Love the contrast coat. What a find.
I’m all for trying new fashions, but as a young poorly paid staffer in DC, I’m upset that you put this – this doesn’t seem like a wardrobe essential. Most of your pieces are versatile and classic. I’m disappointed.
…So don’t buy it? I didn’t realize Belle was ONLY allowed to post “classic, versatile” pieces on a fashion blog. Because it’s so terrible to indulge in trends.

Man does not live by bread alone. When you get the essentials and the basics, it’s fun to add something different. I love the coat in the middle, I think it’s different and modern.
Thank you for your non-snarky response, Belle. I guess I will just continue dreaming until the day I can buy non-essential pieces!
