chestnutcurlsSince fashiony posts seem to be the order of the day: I've spent a chunk of my afternoon reading the archives of You Look Fab. It's a blog by a down-to-earth woman who works in the fashion industry. 
Alissa recommended it and I definitely agree. I especially like her term "pretty pear" for pear-shaped body types. Yay for positive reinforcement. :)
I don't understand how most people can afford to stay fashionable. The whole system seems to be designed for the rich.
I realized at lunchtime that my entire outfit came from New York & Company. That's happening more and more frequently. :)
Unrelated, but I've been pondering it for a while: I'm bummed that our society is too PC to use the term "Mrs." anymore. After almost two years of marriage I'm still Ms. at work, on all my mail, and for any other official stuff. I only get Mrs. in church correspondence. Weird.

Date: 2006-09-25 09:55 pm (UTC)That's why I don't. I just buy anything that I like and is on sale. :) Kohl's is a great place for both. I like NY&Co. to browse but they're expensive.
Oh, and I really really like that dark red wrap shirt at the bottom of the first page of the You Look Fab website.

** Ebay is the way forward - - - sell your old/unwanted clothes - buy new ones with the money.

Where they name pants after the different neighborhoods in Manhattan.
::shakes head:: You can see how New York based they actually are! :)

Date: 2006-09-26 02:01 am (UTC)I agree. I love "What Not To Wear." The people on there are always saying that the reason they don't buy nice, fashionable clothes is because they think their clothes are fine, or that they can't find clothes that fit them, or something like that. I would say, "I would love to buy fashionable clothes, but I don't have the MONEY!"

Date: 2006-09-26 02:56 am (UTC)At work I don't get addressed by Ms or Miss very often, most people just call me by my first name.
