I love a sheer yoke dress for a cocktail event. It shows a bit of skin, but it’s appropriate for many events. Here are a few of my favorites.
Elected Official
Bailey 44 Silk Dragon Dress ($264)
Hill Staffer
Anthropologie Ribbon Pleat Shift ($178)
Paid Intern
Topshop Embellished Ruched Chiffon Dress ($65)
Petite: Maggie London Illusion Yoke Dress ($148) Plus-size: Alex Evenings Illusion Yoke Dress ($208)
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.
I was actually just eyeing this dress yesterday for a summer wedding: https://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1003771&vid=1&pid=990266002. Worried it might be a little much though.
I’d wait until you see it in person. It’s a lot of print, but my concern is the 80s splatter paint, neon patter, which in person could be a totally different color.
