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 purchased the JCrew sweater in sky blue and love it! It runs true to size and looks nice layered over a white button down.
I have the Ann Taylor version linked to under the Petites option, and I love it. My one criticism of the sweater–and this might be true for all side zip sweaters–is that the zipper itself ends right under your armpit, so the sort of rough end of the zipper pokes you all day. Not a big deal if you are wearing a short sleeve tissue tee or something under it, but I wore this with a camisole and was mildly annoyed. Great sweater otherwise, though!
I just saw a girl wearing a sweater like this at work today and very much liked it!
