Morning Line: August 31

Aug 31, 2015

Ponchos are big for fall.  The trick to finding one that looks flattering is to avoid anything that looks like a serape and instead, choose something that looks like an oversized cardigan.  They’re very warm for traveling and a good alternative to an oversized scarf if you get cold at the office.

    This is definately something on my fall wardrobe capsule list but I am challenged in how to style, perhaps for a casual Friday or over the weekend? And how best to style for different body frames, especially petite? Thanks!

    Belle, you need to go hit Costco. They have some beautiful wool/cashmere ponchos for $20. There is a solid black one and then some color blocked options. I bought a black one and then went back a couple of days later to get a second one to leave at the office. And for only $20, it’s a steal.

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.
