This is about to be a caftan summer. What the hell? I feel like channeling my inner Pat Nixon.

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.
Are you going to do a styling post for caftans? I’d really appreciate it because I love the comfort and would love to wear them in public without looking like I came straight from the pool (assuming going out in public is something that happens at some point).
I think you really have to embrace the high class Palm Springs housewife look. Good leather sandals. Big sunglasses. A chic low bun. A long necklace or big hoops for a bangle stack. Like you really have to buy in to make it work.
I got a caftan for christmas and plan to wear it a lot this spring/summer by the pool.Any tips for making it not look so matronly?
I have six of the Barefoot Dreams caftans. While they’re gorgeous and super soft, styling them to wear outside the house seems almost impossible. Yes please on tips to style caftans!
I’ve been seeing more Tuckernuck from influencers lately and everything looks so pretty! Do you know if the sizing is usually TTS/ generally for shorter or taller people/ etc?
You know it’s tough, because I think they order from multiple vendors. But I’ve found the in house pieces either run tts or a hair small.
These sunny, bright prints are what we all need in our lives right now.
Ya know, I’m HERE for Caftan Summer. Bring it on.
Perfect timing! I ordered an #AmazonNightgown in February and apparently it got lost in the mail…
