An interesting post on quality of trousers and how to recognize a good pair

http://nosignposts.blogspot.de.....ittle.html

I thought this would be interesting for all people who still want to buy a pair of slouchy trousers like I do.

Sal from Already Pretty weighs in on the continuing "age appropriateness" issue with a nicely nuanced piece here: http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....shion.html

My favorite sound bite: "But I just can’t get behind the idea that any woman over 40 who wants to wear leather shorts is wrong no matter how great her gams or how perfectly she styles them. I can’t believe that any woman in her 50s who dares to wear an above-the-knee skirt is foolish, or that any woman pushing 70 should confine her palette to subdued neutrals."

Empty Emptor is a fashion blog I just discovered and its owner is on a quest for quality and fashion ethics. This post is about judging the quality of clothing: http://emptyemptor.com/?p=2034

Astrid, we were on a similar wavelength

Interestingly scathing article on Zara. I think this is the same person who didn't "get" Anthropologie at Rockefeller center?

I love this fun collection of shoes designed by Rachel Antonoff for Bass, especially the polkadots.

From Elizabeth GoodCloset [who wrote the "The History of a Cheap Dress"] a thought-provoking view that the pressures of mass manufacturing and production led to today's streamlined -- or dumbed-down, as she calls it -- uniform of T-shirts and jeans.

Who Put Americans in Jeans and T-Shirts?
http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/20.....-t-shirts/

"...“If you’re making large quantities,” she says, “you make a T-shirt or jeans because they fit the largest number of people.” Other factors were at play: with clothes being made on the other side of the world and planned a year in advance, only the safest and most profitable styles won out."

I love old (and new) maps, and thought of Angie's blog post on conversational prints when I saw these two dresses. I would definitely consider a map print dress or blouse.

"Lux style has very feminine proportions, nothing a man could ever wear". I guess that's arguable after seeing Marc Jacobs but I took to heart ideas on how to feminize otherwise masculine or androgynous pieces. It's the direction I want to go.

Fabulously inspiring jazzy suits for women out and about, on the stylesightings blog. I love the fearlessness of these looks, especially the printed ones!

I really like the make-up organization here, especially the beads for the brushes to stand up.

This story about a mom who put her 7 year old on a strict diet really makes me sad:
http://jezebel.com/5895602/mom.....ticle-ever
This is awful. She is just setting her daughter up for a lifetime of body dysmorphia and eating disorders. My mom was nothing like this, but was always "on a diet". Fortunately I am happy with my body and am always careful to reinforce a healthy and positive self image with my daughter--I hope that my daughter will grow up happy with her body too!

Shocking to hear a parent do that to their child in the Vogue article!
