I am craving a dark navy handbag. I want to wear it with black and grey pieces. I also think it would look amazing with plums, teals and blush.

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.
The Vince Camuto satchel is beautiful. May I also suggest the Michael Kors jetset tote in navy? I’m strongly considering it. Also, Tory Burch has a ton of gorgeous navy bags.
I’d stay away from the Forever 21 bag, though–I’m sure it’ll fall apart in about 3 days.
I actually have a couple of bags from Forever 21 that I’ve had for over a year–they’ve been incredibly durable and look like they cost at least 4 times what I actually paid for them.
I have the Tory Burch York Tote, similar to the Michael Kors Jet Set, and I love it! My only qualm is that while it has a padded laptop sleeve (yay!) its only attached to the bottom at the corners so things can get lost under the sleeve (boo)
I recently bought a navy Marc Jacobs (https://www.neimanmarcus.com/Marc-Jacobs-Baroque-Single-Extra-Large-Bag-Navy/prod151760126/p.prod) and it’s been one of the most versatile bags I’ve owned. It also reduces the need to switch bags too often because it matches many more outfits than a black or brown bag might.
