*And don’t forget, my favorite, Ciao Bella boots from Bluefly. Super comfortable, good quality. I just bought my sixth pair in four years. They’re all I wear in the cold winter months.
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, is the Ciao Bella boot really only 14.5″ tall on the shaft?
I don’t have a measuring tape, but mine come to 1″ below my knees.
Maybe 2″, either way, they’re the same height as my other non-Ciao boots.
6th pair in 4 years? Is that because you’re alternating them out in multiple colours? Otherwise that sounds like a really bad rate of replacement.
I have every color. Each pair lasts about two years.
