Ladies,
It’s midterms week. And my bar application is due in a few days. Try tracking down school records, employment records, addresses, and traffic tickets when you grew up in a state where fax machines are still widely used.
Trust me, I’d rather be blogging. My sincerest hope is that I will be back tomorrow. I just have to survive my court hearing tomorrow.
Send vodka. xoxo, Belle
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.
Best of luck Belle!
Fax machines are the bane of my existence. Whyyyyy does anyone still use them??
Bar apps are the WORST. Calling every municipal court along a specific highway to see exactly where I got that speeding ticket in college was not fun. Good luck!
Hang in there. I’m not entirely sure about the legalities of mailing alcohol from person to person across state lines, but I hope that you have some vodka on hand already.
good luck, belle!!
I look forward to every one of your red carpet rundowns, but law school and completing the bar application are more important. Thanks for letting us know.
Sending you mental vodka in the cocktail of your choice.
Good luck!!!
Good Luck Belle! Word of advice on bar applications: if you’re taking more than one state in the future, definitely request 2 certified copies of everything other than your current driving record! It makes registering for the second state so much easier!
Greetings Belle – Best of luck on getting the State of Your Life in order. We’ll all drink some vodka for you! Cheers – Jennifer
Just breathe baby!! You’re almost there…you got this!
Good luck,
If you haven’t already, I’d suggest running a public records search on Lexis (in the person search section) on yourself. It was really helpful both times I had to fill out bar applications. Good luck!
