Sal, Canadian Tire IS an automotive store! (Well, and a kind of everything store. But not known for its fashion, to say the least!) We forum members all felt quite pleased with ourselves for leaving no retail stone unturned. The price was right, too.
Joy -- Tractor supply sounds even better. Belts AND bird food!!!
Lisa, I like a lower rise on some pants too. It can be more comfy. A higher rise is better from the point of view of leg-lengthening (esp with shorter legs like mine) but that's not the only flattery priority. Anyway, I'm not sorry I've saved a couple of mid rise pants, including these.
Angie, that's my memory as well. This blazer has been such a workhorse. Of course I don't wear it as much now that I'm working from home, and I have to admit it is starting to show its age...but I'm nowhere near ready to let it go. A marvellous buy for me.
Carla, I don't remember that particular shirt in plaid...but it did come in gingham check, which I bought. I wear the blue and the check a LOT and the white one a whole lot less. I think the white was the first purchase but it gets much less use. I'm not sure why....
J. Crew does have some lovely plaid shirts now, not tuxedo style but regular, and some with ruffles (that I didn't collect since I don't like them).
