I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm pretty sure Clinton and Stacy would classify jeans as a neutral.

I can't decide if I'm sick or just sleep-deprived.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The good news is that going back to bed would help either way?

I have really got to go to bed early tonight -- I said I'd come in early for an event tomorrow, because I am ridiculous.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Black dress shoes can look a bit funny with bluejeans, but I don't think the same is true of sneakers. Certainly not those Converse ones with the white trim.

I would totally take a nap if I didn't envision another sleepless night because I took a nap during the day.

I am indulging in episodes of Clean House because I don't feel well, and because they make me feel morally superior. I forgot the part where the hoarders drive me crazy.

I gotta say, I have seen some Italians who look really, really good in the sport coat and jeans look. (In Italy, natch.)

I think in this day and age there are dressy jeans that go with dressy shoes, and non-dressy ditto. Especially for women, but men, too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think we can safely ignore pretty much everything Hamilton Nolan asserts, most particularly when it comes to fashion (or finance, for that matter, or, again, everything).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think sports coats are perfectly cromulent with jeans. If that guy had meant suit jackets, I'd have agreed with him in many (male) contexts. Totally not sport coats.

I don't like the idea of dress shoes (typed hoes there at first) with jeans, but I'm sure some people (and/or designers) could pull it off.

Man, I feel sufficiently sick that I would go home, but I called in a prescription to the pharmacy near work (which I haven't done in about a year) for four o'clock, SO.

I pictured high class call girls there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Man, I used to wear heels with sweat pants and I thought I was stylin'

It was the 80s, of course. That may have had something to do with it.
