Huh. Guess that clerk hasn't seen what's happening in high fashion? Maxi skirts and dresses, reviving knee-length skirts and Dior's New Look silhouette?
Seriously though, try...JCP. I know it sounds like you'd be going to style hell, but I have to say I have been very pleasantly surprised at their design lately…

Screw that!
Here is my inspiration for aging well:
If I ever get married, it's going to be a justice of the peace or really small service (think Mom, Dad, any siblings nearby, nobody else) with a "Surprise, we're married!" party afterwards to avoid people spending any money on us because MOST OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY NEED THE MONEY MORE THAN WE DO! Seriously. This…
I teach graphic design and am an academic advisor for internships. I am pretty stringent on what I will let my students do for internships because many companies "hire" interns when they want free design services. This is a huge problem for several reasons. The first is that, due to employment laws and rulings like…
Looking at the comments, it seems like this is simply a fact of buying clothing off the rack (like we have to, for the most part). Clothing makers take the best guess as to what will fit their customers and use that as their fit model. I have a very hard time finding clothes that fit me because I am outside the curve…
I also worked as visual merchandiser years ago and we would use whatever size we had excess of to dress the mannequin so we were less likely to interfere with the customers finding their size. For me, it's wasn't subterfuge, its just a way of dealing with the stock on hand.
I teach at a public university in New York State and am an academic advisor as part of my duties. The student records from high school consist of the students official transcript, period. I've had to pry some pretty academically important information out students themselves rather than get it through their "files." So…
Why haven't these people learned from all the health problems with "purebred" dogs. Inbreeding doesn't lead to physical or mental health in an animal. Period. And yet consumers are still willing to pay 15K (!!!!!) for one of these cats? Especially since many of them don't look all that different from your standard…
The thing I don't get is how anyone is surprised. Everyone's seen Family Guy, American Dad, and the Cleveland Show, right? I'd think the humor on those shows would be a pretty good indication of what to expect from their creator. In other words, whose brilliant idea was it to let him get within a mile of live TV and…
YES! She was so hypnotic in Winter's Bone (which was a flat-out phenomenal movie) that I am now compelled to watch anything she does. Because of that movie I imagined her as Katniss when I read The Hunger Games (before she was cast) so I guess she's a badass in my books.
Call me a hipster, but I really, really, like the taste. I even crave it at times (I think it has something to do with the acidity.) Also, it may be infused with heroin, because it does seem like it should just be wrong...
So I love Kombucha but will only buy it in nice, fully processed form. That said, I once spilled a Kombucha in my car...actually, it was an unfortunate opening event where mild agitation combined with a very recent rapid descent in altitude to make it spray out of its bottle like so much funky champagne...and cleaned…
There is a program called Start Strong that addresses the same issues. My friend was the director of the initiative for the Boston Public Health Commission and, from what he told me, it was doing some great things. There are some resources on the website that might help.
My dog Shadow is the same mix and his nickname is the Swiffer. I can take him for a walk with our other dog (a jack russell mix) and Shadow will be caked in mud with twigs and leaves embedded in his coat while the other dog looks like he didn't even go outside. Some animals have simply been bred for fluffy soft coats…
They're very playful and love attention so they are happy pups whenever they come to school with me.
I can't seem to get the image to attach...maybe it will work this time.
I am a college professor and the owner of two dogs. I actually deliberately bring them to school during midterms and finals for my students to play with and pet. I have seen stressed out students-literally vibrating with stress-squeal, start burbling doggy nonsense and relax into big smiles within 10 seconds of…
Honestly, I'm pretty sure Urban Outfitters has been selling dead stock from the early 90's, except...the quality is worse. I started shopping at the store in the early 90's on rare trips to Boston (Yay! Cambridge basement!) but the store has lost it for me.First, it seems like it is in every mall I go to. It used to…
@slightlyflawed: I, for one, think this is great. I know the Abaya and Sheila but am always forgetting the names of the other garments (except the Burkini!).
