Gap Classic Pique Blazer ($88)

This classic cotton blazer from Gap comes in petite, tall and misses sizes.  It’s available in black and navy.  When I tried it on last week, I was impressed with the quality though, like most Gap products, you may want to size down.  But the look of the blazer is so classic that you’ll find yourself wearing it all the time.

Also in the under-$150 price range, I found a few more choices.  I like this Tommy Hilfiger two-button jacket.  J.Crew Factory also has a cotton blazer in this price point.  Need something under-$50?  Target has you covered.

Petite?  Banana Republic has a very lovely blazer with puff sleeves.  Plus-size?  Tahari has a great looking one-button blazer, as does Target’s Merona line ($39).  Tall?  In addition to the Gap jacket above, Eddie Bauer makes this collarless jacket in longer lengths.

    I would love to see various ways to style a navy blazer. I struggle with not appearing stodgy when I wear mine. Thanks Belle!

    Yay, Target! I always find them a surprisingly good option for low-budget office wear.

    Perfect timing! I was about to start the hunt for a navy blazer to go with a dress I bought impulsively. Thanks Belle!

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.
