Which reminds me--I need some cheap sparkly brooches, and Claire's is probably perfect.
Claire's or Target.
Jilli, you are precisely the right person to reassure people about the spirit of fashion.
Awww, thank you!
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Target.
I bought one of those there for my niece last Christmas, and I've since seen a picture of my sister wearing it.

Well, that was more excitment than any move-in day needs: Tornado Warning. Okay, it's not quite done ('til 3:15 here) but it's on it's way East. Enjoy Chicagoans!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My mom, sister, and I were shopping at the Williams-Sonoma in Naperville on Friday, where we found a tangine on sale ($60 marked down to $15), so Mom picked it up, along with a Moroccan cookbook and some Moroccan spices over at Penzey's next door. And what my sister said will probably come true: "After you have it a few years and only use it twice, I'll come over for the holidays and claim it for myself."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Okay, if y'all are shopping Forever 21, that means I don't have to worry about the dressing like lamb issue of me shopping there, right?
I don't actually shop there, because I've not found them to carry clothes that fit me. But Liese said "band" and "cheap" and that seemed the best place to find a bunch of stuff online.
Also, I know a couple of people who got their whole early-pregnancy wardrobe at F21 this year because everything was babydoll.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Awww, thank you!
You have no idea. It's categorically impossible for me to have as clear-cut a fashion image as you do, but the idea of "no, just wear it if you enjoy it" (tempered of course by good sense) is definitely something I could do more often. I am (or have been) precisely the person who wears something just once because of the reaction of a complete stranger. I just take it off when I get home and shove it to the back of the closet.
Or, was. I get teased at work sometimes, and any normal clothes are going to get one reaction or another by krav people seeing you "normal" for the first few times. But be it corset or stripey tights (thanks!) or stunning short mini (actually, ubershort skirts have always been easy) or cleavage (that's the hardest one for me)--I'm wearing it if I like it, and being guided not by embarassment, but rather by appropriateness, which is a whole different vibe.
Yeah, it took a while, but better late than never.

Wait, so you're disagreeing with the age-appropriateness?

No, just with me being part of the "y'all" shopping.
Edit: But not because it's age-inappropriate!

Appropriateness and what else makes up the outfit. I get strange looks when I'm wearing a corset with a high-collar blouse and knee-length, petticoat-enhanced skirt, but I feel I'm no less work-appropriate than the girls running around here in low-rise capris, kitten-heeled flip-flops, and tank tops that don't entirely cover their abdomen.
