I do the "leather jacket + pants, skirt or dress" thing. I have 3 leather jackets: red, turquoise & denim blue. One is a blazer style, and the others are biker style. I pair them up with a nice tank (in a silk, maybe), or a collared blouse. Check the thrift shops for leather jackets.

On that point, I think that student status is at least as much of a problem as the limited age groups involved. A 21-year-old military couple with a small child is going to be facing completely different issues than a pair of students at different universities. Ultimately, it's hard for me to accept some of these…

slip him a matchbook under the bathroom door after I realize he has been in there a while. got yo back, babe.

Amen. I'll take the "Roll over, you're snoring" to the "OMG, I'm going on a date with him tonight!" mentality any day.

I hate hate hated the infatuation phase. Bring me the not-special being naked around the house and negotiating holiday family time! Love it because it is real and we're both in it together.

LDRs were able to easily keep each other on a pedestal because there was no everyday stuff to taint up that golden image of perfection.

Never buy something you cant afford. Never use your debt card to make a purchase, but rather always use a credit card (preferably one with rewards). Pay off the entire balance every month.

So, storytime: my dad was a letter carrier for thirty-eight years. Every Christmas he'd receive a stack of Christmas cards from the people on his route, not to mention stacks of boxes of chocolates. Several years he even became pen pals with the children who would write to Santa Claus. A few times he was able to…

Instead of befriending someone for what they can do for you, befriend them for what you can do for them. I'm thinking about mentally disabled people (or people, as I prefer to call them) who often are excluded from society because of what they look like or how they behave. They are people just like you and me who've…

OMG that made me laugh. Seriously, this is scary?

It's funny how exceptionally obvious this should be to anyone who knows some basics about circuits, and yet this just never really occurred to me.

I am a dress person so I have classic cut basic dresses in blue, black, brown, etc. Then I buy fun colorful trendy accessories, shoes and jewelry.

Sounds like a place I used to work a few years ago. It was very conservative and since I'm an engineer, I was surrounded by a bunch of men, who didn't take me very seriously. I still wanted to look "cute" but business appropriate, yet not too flamboyant. As much as I like the idea of polo shirts and tan pants, I…

For business casual days I wear things like a pencil skirt with a button down and a bright coloured jumper (like the ones JCrew has). For suits, silk t-shirts or blouses rather than a shirt and flats help. Small prints also make things a bit less stiff. I wear bright shoes sometimes (I have red heels and a…

I think the main trick to dressing your age (our age — I'm 25, too) is to find the balance between youthful and professional. So I go for classic professional pieces (button-up shirts, blazers, pencil skirts) but with youthful elements and always figure-flattering cuts (never a double-breasted blazer, never a…

For business casual, I tend to like plain tees with cardigans over them or long sleeve henleys. I think those tend to read pretty young, especially when work with a chino pant in a bootcut or flare. Add cute flats or boots and you've got yourself an outfit. You might also check out Corporette, which has a lot of…

Younger? Idk I feel like I give my business wear a younger feel by adding trending colors or accessories where appropriate. Also an interesting pair of flats seem to jazz it up. I also feel like a slim cut suit usually also makes the suit look more modern.

Wow, Chris Brown is gonna be hella disappointed when he finds out beating cancer isn't what he thinks it is.

... Now I want to go buy a ton of zipties and figure out how to do just that. ;D

I do it w/o reservation. Simple method:
