10th Commandment: June 10

Marc New York ZigZag Dress ($70)

What I like about Saks Off 5th, the discount retailer for Saks Fifth Avenue, is that they have a wide variety of clothing, shoes and accessories.  They also carry a wide range of sizes plus-size clothing, and the new misses items on sale are usually available in a number of sizes (as opposed to discount sites that only have one or two sizes available).

My favorite spot on Off 5th is the “wear to work” section.  Not all the pieces are winners, but you can find great basics like this tailored, one-button Tahari blazer or this Vince jersey pencil skirt.  I also love this white, stretch-cotton blazer from French Connection.

I also like to check the “new arrivals” to see if I can pick up discounted in-season pieces like this off-white Rebecca Taylor fit-and-flare dress.

I never miss the shoe section, because you can find gems like these DvF wedges.  The handbag section is the same way.  This navy French Connection convertible bag is phenomenal ($35), and this smartphone wristlet would be a great way to carry essentials at work.

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.

Three Outfits I’ll Wear All Spring

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.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

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.
