This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

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.

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!
