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.

Sometimes, you just want to wear something pretty to the office. Something that makes you feel good. A dress that makes your whole day better. These are those dresses.
Never buy full price AT. That cardigan, and everything in the store, will be at least 40% by the end of August. I guarantee it!
Or full price Jcrew!
It’ll be 40% off by the end of the week. Every other day they have a new sale.
Sales are usually on the weekend or on Tuesdays.
this is my kind of post!
You and your cardigans…
Belle- about 4 years ago, I bought a cardigan at AT that’s almost identical to the one above. It’s navy, has a very narrow band at the waist (unlike above) dots are the same size, and their placement is slightly asymmetrical, which gives it a fun little flair. The fabric is fabulous. I love it, (if you can’t tell!) but I have a hard time styling it so as not too look too old/ boring. How would you wear it??? My office is somewhere between business casual and completely professional, the environment is creative.
Thanks, Amy
p.s.- maybe a better ? for an “Ask Belle”!
