It looks great on the reviewer here. <BR/>I have always loved chambray as it is so comfy and gets better after each wash. I will simply wear my old 2003 gap fitted soft jean shirt for the cute catalog look. I am pairing mine with the taffeta skirt with the kick pleat & pearls. Spring is official March 20th.

Maybe some of the people who hide purchases do so because the spouse is obsessed with scrimping and saving and anxiously demands to know the price of every single purchase.<BR/><BR/>I just read a quote on an apartment therapy page ...<BR/><BR/>"We're all going to die. Write that down, miss. We don't have the luxury of a thousand years on this earth. Only sixty, or maybe eighty little years if we're lucky. And these years pass in a flash. Why not offer flowers to your spouse every night? Why deprive yourself of the happiness of making your house a home? Why resist your impulse?

There are a lot of marriages in trouble on this blog. Women think it is actually funny that they hide their packages and spending on JCrew clothes from their husbands. It made me sick just reading these posts a while back while everyone else thought it was SOOO FUNNY! That is not being honest and setting yourself up for BIG trouble in the long run; I couldn't live that way but I guess, for the most part, the world is a dishonest place. My hubby knows exactly what I spend and I wouldn't have it any other way.

That style coupled with the beautiful colors on the print makes it one of those special pieces that I think will look great even 5-10 year from now.

It's almost impossible to find yardage of fabrics as nice as what you find in ready-made clothing, believe me, I have been hunting for decades. When you find the best fabrics, they can be quite pricey. Many times I've bought garments just to scavange the fabrics! My latest scavange was the blue/white floral short-sleeved Gap top with the ruffles at the collar, I already own the top but I bought another in size XXL when it was marked down because I'm going to make a little halter top from the fabric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-73956254392099560752009-02-25T17:37:00.000-05:002009-02-25T17:37:00.000-05:00no one is immune, that is correct.
