A lot of the clothes are badly made in the shops, and anything that is well made is out of my league.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992557498807791164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315747.post-50985172628854119682011-07-31T19:03:22.414-04:002011-07-31T19:03:22.414-04:00Amen!

I've decided to go back to sewing my own clothing as I am tired of ready to wear fit and cost. And the quality of most things is usually abysmal anyway! I just ordered a nice dress form in my size, can't wait for it to arrive. Now on to buying the fabric! Yeah!KittyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092101319008047065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315747.post-69289360904079030342011-07-28T17:36:40.977-04:002011-07-28T17:36:40.977-04:00And, there are a LOT of us out here!

Friday was 1/2 price clothing sale. For $15 I left with six pieces of my faves from J Jill and Ann Taylor. Yup, I'm carrying my previously thrifted $15 Chanel purse with them. <br /><br />Best of luck on your hunt.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522725338783631084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315747.post-77874645526419744442011-07-28T14:41:20.620-04:002011-07-28T14:41:20.620-04:00HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

I like simple, classic and tasteful. Even when I was younger my favorite sleeve was the 3/4. It looks nice on everyone, I think. Frankly, I don't care how old a person is, I think everyone would look so much nicer if they would leave a little bit more to the imagination! LOL!<br /><br />xoLenanoreply@blogger.com
