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.
How do you keep belted sweaters from looking like bathrobes?
I love their ease and defined waist but i always feel like I look sloppy and would love styling advice for a work setting!
Add a real belt. Also, length matters. Just under hip length is less likely to look like a robe.
Somehow belted cardigans look like bathrobes to me. Is that just me?? I like the coziness but they don’t look as chic as I would want.
Nope, it’s not just you. I can’t see anything but a sloppy bathrobe when I look at one. Unless you sub out the self-belt for a leather one, then maybe…
I have a really hard time picking out belts. I’d really love some suggestions for belts that I could use for my belted cardigans.Since I also have the challenge of preventing them from looking like a bathrobe! In fact I was wearing one outside the other day and my neighbor actually asked me if I was wearing a bathrobe!
