10th Commandment: February 14

Feb 14, 2014

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I have been locked in a multi-day travel meltdown.  As a result, I intended for yesterday to be the blog’s Friday so that I could catch up on other work.  But here I am, stuck in an airport with a lot of ticked off people who are yelling at gate agents, each other and anyone else within in earshot, and putting on my headphones and blogging sounds like a great idea.

Let’s just called today Friday, Part Deux.

MICHAEL Michael Kors Stripe Dress ($89.50)

Striped dresses are an all-season essential for me.  I wear them with tights in the winter and bare legs in the summer.  This Michael Kors dress is a well-made option in a versatile black and white palette.

Prefer navy?  I like this Mott Hvar stripe dress from Nordstrom and this Old Navy dress with a band of aqua around the bottom (in petite and tall).

Want a maxi dress?  I love this Michael Stars blouson-top maxi and this 3/4 sleeve Jessica Simpson ‘Reah’ dress.

Looking for a plus-size dress?  Try this short sleeve Ralph Lauren dress or this super cute Forever 21 dress with long sleeves.  Petite? I like this navy long-sleeved Ralph Lauren and this WHBM black and white striped shift (also in misses).  Tall?  Have a look at this variegated-stripe dress from LOFT.

The Find: A Striped Tee

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.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

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.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

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.
