I love granny prep. Actually my formerly favorite work blouse came from Talbot's.

Yeah the thing about Brooks Brothers is that it's not young and fun, it's like the antithesis of young and fun. It takes your sweet flower-pattern singlet that you love and that cost $50 and will fall apart in a season and raises you a Scottish lambswool cable-knit grey sweater that your dad loves, cost $250, and will…
I think the real gauntlet to pass here is this: if you can't have the kind of mate you want, would you rather be single? Because you may not find him or her...truly it may never happen. If the answer is no, then it's not one of your "standards", dealbreakers or picky points. If the answer is yes, then it is.
Yes. Also, even if you really want to be with someone, and there's no subconscious "deep down I actually didn't want to stay with him under any circumstances" thing going on, the "sacrifices" you happily make are the ones that don't fundamentally change who you are. Like, I can make the sacrifice that I will have to…
Yeah whatevs it looks stupid now.
I wear boot cut too. Skinny jeans look like shit on me. Straight legs are, oddly, hard to find in my size and at an acceptable price point without the ugly high waist that is in for some reason. (I'm cheap - an acceptable price point for me is less than $50).

The only problem with making fun of boot cut jeans is that some of us look like crap in skinny jeans and you can't always find straight leg. I give zero fucks about what other people think of my boot cut jeans. I look bad in skinny, and straight leg seems to have disappeared from stores.
I kind of miss the colored mascara. I would rock some teal mascara.
This isn't the craziest thing but just to add to "my parents did this to me", my parents forced me to get a hideous bowl cut (think Dorothy Hamill long after she stopped being anyone a child would aspire to emulate aesthetically) for years because they insisted I wouldn't maintain long hair. Of course they never let…
I did my own makeup for my wedding. I didn't have any good makeup as I almost never wear it otherwise (wedding, job interview, extremely zitty day, funeral - that's it. Maybe a very fancy night out...rarely) so I had to buy it all. Unfortunately the woman at the MAC counter who sold me the concealer I would use didn't…
To be fair even if you're in a hetero hookup there's an expectation that everyone will finish. I don't know about y'all but my female friends and I have choice words for men who don't use other methods to finish off the lady they've brought home if they 'splode too quickly.
Not if you live abroad. I'm in the US at the moment so I can stream, but you can't stream from the country where I live. Even if it were shown on TV - it's not - we don't have a TV. Hulu only works in the USA. It's ridiculous to pay $2 an episode for current events shows (and not say classic shows that you'll watch…
I had heard they were going to call it The Minority Report and I'm kind of sad they changed that (looooved it) but the show is legit good.
I remember being in college at the turn of the millenium, and the only difference with the sororities were that they weren't wearing white blouses with dark wash jeans and nude wedges - it was all black pants with Kate Spade bags (and not her "Metro" or "Urban" lines but real ones), Madden shoes and pastel tops,…
I just remember that until fairly recently it was quite normal for women to wear such foundation garments. I mean look at Joan on Mad Men: you could basically see her girdle through her dresses, and that was normal. So while we might feel ridiculous, it's really only been 2, maybe 3 generations since it's been…
I love the content of the blog, but I'm going to be honest. Too many gifs. Makes me dizzy. Do not like. If you got rid of the gifs I'd read voraciously.
I have no idea what "what is your favorite vegetable" was even meant to lead to. Was it like a crappy phallus joke or something?
And in those centuries women will live and die whose lives have been ruined by church doctrine. (Of course, they chose that - they do have the choice of just ignoring church teachings, lots of Catholics do). Not good enough.
