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.

Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.
Just a heads up the reviews for that red dress are pretty terrible.
I bought the London Times dress about two weeks ago – warning, it’s not lined so that’s a downer. BUT, otherwise its a fabulous dress for me to wear in very formal work environment! I do recommend sizing up.
In my haste I read the title of post as “best and worst picks from the rack” and thought that this is great – a reminder of what NOT to wear! With covid, motherhood and full time job I could use a reminder of what should be retired (rough edge skinny jeans? tailored foxcroft shirt? 3in pumps? Ankle length tapered pants?)
I recall a few posts on refreshing old styles, where you shared a picture from a decade ago and would point out how to refresh it for today. Loved those!
