I will take Caitlyn’s mom’s response over the response of almost all of my trans friends’ parents any day of the week. Most of them have been cut off completely, unless they have to go back into drag and present themselves as a male/female to even get near them. It's so sad.

Dammit, Esther. I was prepared to go full snark rage on you based on the headline but then I read your quotes and they were so earnest and kind. Fine, way to suck the fun out of my morning.

If Vaughn was really a libertarian he’d accept the free market’s verdict on whether people give a shit what the star of The Internship, The Watch and Delivery Man thinks.

I think they are flattering on just about everyone, from tiny-hipped ladies who look like Claire Underwood to me, pear-shaped person, to hourglass shaped ladies. Plus, they are easy and chic. Pencil skirt + cream or white blouse = adult woman who looks neat and professional.

My method is to put off shopping for months and months, then go completely insane when I finally go, ending up with a dazed headache several hours later only to find I’ve spent the equivalent of some people’s rent mostly on things that weren’t even on my list, only to return several things one by one over the next

Color can make an outfit feel more businessy/professional - a black cotton sheath dress looks a lot fancier than one in a loud tropical print for example. I would look for simple black and navy dresses with relatively high necks - e.g., something with a bateau neck not a scoop neck - in either sleeveless or with short

after a one-week sabbatical from westeros, i have returned with my many thoughts:

I have a knee-length olive-colored linen pencil skirt that I pair with various blouses for work. I wear it to work probably twice a week, every week in the summer. The best part is no one can complain if your linen is wrinkly, because it’s linen! I also have a lovely linen brown sheath dress that I wear frequently. I

I’m in my 30s and live in Houston, I wear sleeveless cotton/linen/silk blend dresses for most of the summer. I also have a hand full of cotton skirts (a-line) and sleeveless shells. Either case, I wear under light cardigans on the office, or under a light blazer, that I take off before going outside.

Simple dresses with some sort of sleeve, snazzy flats. Perfect for running around the city and doing pretty much anything.

First, look at your natural shape. For most of us, sundresses that accommodate bra straps are a good choice. I really dislike seeing bra straps, so if it’s a racer back dress, wear a racer back bra.

...also try just buying every piece from an already put-together outfit from a store’s website or flyer. See a look you like, and buy all of it, rather than just buying separates you like and then not having cohesive looks.

Something else that really works for me is shopping online. I find more interesting and unique things that way, and when they arrive I get to try them on in the comfort and natural lighting of my own home.
That said there are a few rules I try to follow when doing this:
1) shop smart, shop brands/retailers that you

I saw the cutest ensemble on someone’s Instagram (stalking whoops) if you are into classy yet comfy looks: black shorts, black strapless peplum top, white sandals. I have yet to find the ideal top but am leaning towards this one and will probably buy it once I want it enough to spend $63: http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-

This is my look, except for the part where I look NOTHING like Jennifer Aniston. In summer, I may wear jean shorts instead of jeans.

A maxi dress, t strap sandals, and a huge hat? Otherwise I'm doing life wrong.

I wear a lot of cotton dresses in the summer. Pair it with cute shoes, a belt, and hair accessories, and you’ve got an outfit.

For work or play? I wear a lot of dresses all the time. It gets hotter than fuck here in the summer and it’s the closest I can come to not having to wear clothes at all.

Yeah, I’m in my late 20s, and the style I usually aspire to actually skews older-looking (sort of breezy, elegant, Eileen Fisher, The Row kind of stuff), in part because I’d rather look wise-beyond-her-years than (and I hate this expression, but) mutton-dressed-as-lamb. Also, the right shoes and jewelry can make a

I can’t believe how inappropriate the school has acted, and is continuing to act, by telling people the kid has “bad character.” Look in the fucking mirror, dickbags.
