I had to resort to reading that aloud to get it. Sigh. Braindead.
I did not get it at all either. I was like 'Why, is Armand a funny name??"
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Was that from Woman Within?
It is. It's the perfect light-denim-color light-weight-but-not-gauze cotton mid-calf full skirt. And it has pockets! And an elastic waist with a drawstring. One more broomstick skirt should set me for summer.
edit: And I got it in Petite, because it can be hard to find things for short *and* fat.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It took me FOREVER to figure out that FTW was For the Win and not some deliberate mixup of WTF, so I understand the feeling.
This reminds me of Adam Gopnik's story about IMing/texting with his son, and how for ages he thought LOL meant Lots of Love.

Mama Robin is sitting on her charges. Despite the flashlight shining on her. I'm gonna be waaaay too invested in these fledglings, I already know.

I've only bought a few things from them (a cotton nightshirt, a slinky black not-for-sleeping nightie, and yoga pants), so I wondered how their other clothing categories (skirts, tops) fared. Good to hear!

I've had no problem finding tops around here, but skirts that weren't obnoxiously tight around the hips have been a challenge. I'll be interested to see what their fall collection has.

When one is measuring for bra size, is it with or without a bra on? Because gravity is a bitch on a 40-year-old bustline (counting from when they "bloomed").

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Best fitting bra on, is the advice I've gotten.

Or go to Nordstrom and have them do it. Victoria's Secret does it as well, but they probably don't do as good of a job.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My coworker had a hilarious story about getting measured at VS for bras, and they seem to have a technique of making everyone's boobs seem bigger. She's a B cup, if that, and they put her in a C, and she's shouting "You did something wrong!". And as she's in the fitting room, she's hearing other customers shouting "there's no way I'm this size!". But apparently they want women to feel bustier, so their bras are sized in a skewed way. Which makes me worried that they'd try to put me in a size E or DDD or some craziness.
