A ruffled, skunk-printed silk top. And it costs $225. Sometimes, I think J.CREW is punking me.
Oh, and just in case you want this print to cover your entire body with the Pepe Le Pew Collection, there’s a skirt too.
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.
Oh, JCrew. Some of the gals over at JCrew Aficionada really love the skirt – I have no idea why. Do. Not. Understand. At. All.
Punking? More like skunking.
It would be cute if there was another animal (any animal, really) in the tiny print.
I think skunks are really adorable (doesn’t mean I hang out with them). That said, I’m not big on animals on my clothes. That’s a trend I don’t understand.
I think the print is really cute (though J Crew silk can be really thin and not super well made so the shirt is almost certainly over priced.
I’m way into this blouse. Sometimes you have to push the envelope a little if you want to avoid the mundane fashion the District instills in residents. A small (unexpected) animal print is a fun twist.
I agree with Mags that I really like the blouse. However not for $225. That’s just crazy!
I like the skunk print, but not for that price.
This is a cute casual shirt, but not for the office. I would a) look like a 5 year-old child on a Bambi kick as I presented research to my boss and b) everyone in my office would be all over the Pepe LePew jokes, and rightfully so. Not mention H&M will have a $30 knock-off of this next month.
+1 to Lexi. I’m good with animal print. Not printed animals. Seems so childish.
