Jacket Hope

After the jump, see a great jacket on Lisa Wexler, practicing attorney and host and executive producer of The Lisa Wexler Show (we met at lunch on Tuesday).

Can This Blouse Be Saved?

Last December, I posted a series of entries about whether our button-down shirt dilemma could be solved with simple alterations. The results were mixed, but where a shirt could be saved, it was worth it. Since then, this rescued shirt has been faded by an accidental machine washing, and this rescued shirt has collected stains […]
