A new year, so high time for a new round of style-related links. I can't wait to see what you've found these last few weeks. Pop your link in the comments section below, and do let us know why you would like to share it.

Thank you!

Not "guest" worker -- but "ghost" worker. The issues are complex -- and there are no easy answers. But this in-depth article helps explain who is making our clothing in the global economy, and why we should care.

I was actually shocked by this information.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12.....-homes-for...

"Little known to shoppers, however, is that a majority of returned items
never make it back to retailers’ shelves. Instead, the items wind their
way through liquidators, wholesalers and resellers, many of the
purchases ending up in landfills. According to some estimates, as much
as two million tons of returned items — most of it undamaged merchandise
— are thrown away each year, enough to fill over 200,000 garbage
trucks."

Whaaaat????

I've recently been enjoying this blog:

She's an attorney in DC with a good eye for color and a sense of whimsy, adult version, in her style.

This caught my eye after the holidays, when we could all use some "bendy jeans," not just office workers

I was drawn to this with hope that the right exercise could help give my flat bum enough shape to fill out trousers, or at least keep them from drooping. This may help others too. I've not yet IDed my shape.

I was dismayed to learn turtlenecks are not cool:

L'Abeille, the Design a wig feature is currently not available on the V&A website, so I won't be able to use the link in this afternoon's post. But I'll keep an eye on it, and if it starts working again, I'll definitely include it in one of our future Link Love posts.
