1) Whose side are you on? Meet the women who hate feminism. (The Walrus)

2) New in the under-$125 work-bag game: this gorgeous Calvin Klein tote, and this Kate Landry satchel.

3) Self-promoters go a long way in life; and how to know when you should brag, and when you should keep quiet. (The Herald Sun; Quartz)

4) Finally cracked and bought the Nike blush sneakers. Sometimes, I’m so basic it hurts.

5) Listen to the complete guide to the Electoral College.  (The Takeaway Podcast)

6) This Reiss dress with velvet panels and statement sleeves goes beyond the LBD.  And this green, one shoulder dress from Whistles is perfect for a holiday party or a summer wedding.

7) Why don’t more powerful women paint their nails like UK PM Theresa May does? (Financial Times)

8) Love red lips?  Then, you need to try this Kevyn Aucoin Femme Fatale Lip Kit.

9) What to do when pregnancy makes you question your career decisions. (Forbes)

10) I used to think it was kitschy, but the Comme des Garcons heart logo has grown on me.  I’m thinking about buying one of their shirts, maybe this striped tee or this simple button-up.

    Wowza, #1 is a doozy of a read. Good to read about the anti-feminist side, though.

    I really worry about the internalized misogyny in this country.

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.
