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.
Costco carrying a similar coat in multiple colors for $40, too. Think it’s branded Marc Jacobs. Well proportioned for tall ladies, which is tough with this style of coats – the sleeves often run shorts or the waist/hips run high.
Barbour women’s jackets included in the Bloomingdales 25% off Friends and Family sale and are now priced matched at Nordstrom for the most part.
Another very reasonable option is the quilted riding jacket for $139. And LLBean will go 10% or 20% off from time to time. Good fit, good quality, and definitely a classic!
