suntiger, I honestly can't think of anywhere in the state that is never in danger of fires. There's even a fire burning in the Mojave right now.
Suz, you know, I haven't been wearing loungewear at all through this. Dressing for comfort...yes. I haven't touched a belt since March, and wear shoes so seldom that I'm surprised by new and exciting blisters every time I go for a city walk (even my exercise tends to come in the form of yoga or barefoot beach walks). Most of my regular clothes are suitable for hanging out at home, though, because that's where I spend most of my time, anyway.
Joy, J.Jill doesn't operate under the same ethical ideals as Eileen Fisher, so I'm comfortable spending a bit more for the real thing, knowing the company values. I've seen it NWT on eBay, though, so I might keep an eye out there.
Sal, those are definitely the same elements I was thinking of, along with softer, distressed finishes and Western details.
