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.
I like that the alfani skirt looks high-waisted. I hate pencils that hit at the top of my hips rather than my waistline–they just look funny on me.

I do not like pencils that fall on the hip side either. Nearly impossible to camouflage the pantyhose/tights line (yes…sadly where I work, we are expected to wear hose) or to keep a shirt tucked in. Which creates a dual problem at best. Really like the choice of pink and hoping that Alfani comes in other colors.
I can vouch for the WHBM skirt, because I can swear by them in any color they have introduced. Pretty staple part of my closet. They fit and feel fantastic.
