Yes, she looked larger than life but surely that could have been addressed differently.

The one item (double serge wool skirt in black) that I wanted sold mid-checkout. However, I just picked up my 5 items from last week and am excited to try them. I think I did well and am not too sorry I didn't get anything else today. When I picked up, it was an embarrassing armful of packages and boxes. Customers looked over, and I told the long-time SA that the order was normal. He said "normal for you". 😅 farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276016792629249178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-59847511017733022902017-07-26T20:08:40.603-04:002017-07-26T20:08:40.603-04:00Hi TM93, I only have a couple of studio tees from ...Hi TM93, I only have a couple of studio tees from factory which were a recent purchase, the studio tee says slim fit but I took XS in those. My retail "new perfect fit tees" which I consider a slim fit are all Smalls. In the old retail painter tees I would take a small. I consider the factory studio tees to be similar to the painter tees but I took a smaller size for factory. The tee you are looking at says slightly loose fit though so I personally think I'd size down. <br /><br />The tee you mentioned is so cute! I also love cats. :)janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-16797495707534449552017-07-26T19:53:34.055-04:002017-07-26T19:53:34.055-04:00I just got a new Talbot's catalog yesterday an...I just got a new Talbot's catalog yesterday and dare I say that there were quite a few things that reminded me of the old J.

Oh and throw in some animal print(s) for good measure. Why? Bc that is the main trend in high street fashion these days. By "these days" I mean the ongoing, several-years-long fashion sensibility. (The only return to femininity has been a misguided profusion of OTS tops and the Return of the Ruffle.) So, who is one of the major style-game-changers that's shaped this fashion sensibility? Um, Jenna Lyons! This newer, stronger, keeping-up-the-fight-longer JCrew has let go of its prized real life fashion icon, and then insists on sending us insta stories and styling videos featuring C-list nobodies aping her style as fashion models to copy... ugh. Spare us, please. Yes, I'm really put off. The only thing that letting Jenna go achieved was the Demise of the Nerdy Glasses in the photo shoots.
