This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
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.
I just purchased this lovely plaid blazer from Everlane. The sleeves are not as short as they look in the photographs. https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-wool-acadamey-blazer-minicheckplaid?collection=womens-outerwear
I have the 1.State blazer and it’s fantastic. It’s soft but you can’t tell it’s sort of knit– it looks completely normal and it has structure. I like it better than the pricier Theory one!
I am fairly certain my coworker owns the F21 blazer. It looks so good on her!
I have the Vince Camuto one in regular sizing, thanks to my Trunk Club stylist. It’s great, such a flattering cut and I’m fairly curvy and petite.
I am struggling to embrace this trend. The blazers look dated to me *shrug*
2nd that. My mom wore one like this in the 80s. Can’t get it out of my head.
Yeah, my first thought was 80s, not 40s.
The Duchess of Cambridge just wore a blazer similar to this, but more fitted by Smythe. I found one nearly identical at H&M for around $50. I prefer the more fitted cropped look to the oversized, but love this plaid that is so popular this fall- I’ve seen it referred to as “Prince of Wales plaid”.
My husband and I just took a trip to Italy and these sorts of blazers were EVERYWHERE in Milan, many double-breasted. I bought one from Everlane, but I’m really skeptical the look is going to translate to my day to day…
Target has a few options if you’re not willing to commit a bunch of money to this trend.
