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.
The bootie makes me cringe. shudder

I love the Vince Camuto Miki Bootie. It's so functional. I didn't think I could pull off this look but these could be worn with so much!
Wow. I'm drooling over the Elizabeth and James pair. Great choice. Wish I could afford them.
Am I the only one who hates this trend passionately? I will admit, though, that it is most passable in a light beige.
@Emma … I used to. Then I saw these nude Jimmy Choos https://bit.ly/cFuICo that are close … and I'm starting to be swayed.

Am I the only one who thinks toeless booties make absolutely no sense whatsoever? This post disappoints.
Aberns-
Flip through a Sept. Issue, most things in fashion don't make any sense at all. Short sleeve sweaters? Sheer cotton shirts? Fashion is supposed to be fun and creative.
All-
I used to feel the way you do about booties, then they grew on me. That happens sometimes.
@aberns, do peep toe pumps make no sense to you either? I am partial to the Vince Camutos.
