I am really clearly not the target market for J. Crew.
I admit that I am kind of in love with the fabric on this dress, though not so much with the actual dress. But if they offered that pattern in a nice wrap dress with sleeves? At that point, the only thing stopping me from being their slavishly devoted target market would be that their prices are totally on crack.

Agreed. That shape dress would make my boobs look aw-ful, and as I've said before, I aspire to a world where everyone's boobs are properly shown off and possibly covered in glitter.
The drive through liquor store I used to frequent in Wisconsin also sold ammo.
Now you just need live bait and you're set for a weekend in Wisconsin.
You get that from the vending machine 'round the back. No, seriously.
Now I'm all homesick for the Lodi ferry.
I am in mad love with this dress, though I've grown to fear the strapless as I age. It's a little upholstery-esque, and yet? Love! Potential Trinnys also note: not black.
I've just tossed out my pitch for my second book, and now I wait, chewing my nails, to find out whether it's any good.
I'm not sure who's breasts would be flattered by that dress (the first one that is). I think the problem is the large expanse of skin on top. Add some sleavage and maybe it could work.
But yes, the fabric is lovely. I may need a skirt in it.

I gotta say, though, browsing through that catalog? I deeply appreciate the multiple views including side of the dresses on the models.
What were Tim Gunn's list of ten items? I don't think I had any of them. I definitely don't have a trenchcoat anymore, and probably he wouldn't have approved of the (oversized, mens) one I had when I wore one. Anyway, I've decided I really do want a good little black dress. But I don't think I can have one, because I'd have to buy shoes. And I don't want to buy shoes. I want to wear a little black dress with my stompy Doc Martens boots. And white ankle socks.
paperdol, that's so exciting!

My daughter has been going through my closet, reminding me of all the things that are in it that I don't wear. Turns out I have two adorable LBDs, one a chiffon one from my mother, the other one a shift covered in netting with little beaded ladybugs on it. Now all I need is a reason to wear them. (It turns out I also have a gorgeous silk evening dress that no longer fits... I guess I sell that one on eBay, right?)

This is not a joke, right? Because that's what I wear with my little black dress, except crew socks, not ankle socks.
