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 used to steer clear of ankle straps (just hate the way they look with skirts and dresses — they can make even the longest legs look stumpy and weird), but I love them with boyfriend jeans and similar length pants. You still have to be careful to make sure the strap doesn’t hit in a bad place, but the right combo is so sexy.
I was always weary of them, because I have muscular calves, but I’ve found that the right ones with the right kind of skirt actually make my ankles/legs look much slimmer.
