First, let me say that fashion is not my gift. Apparently I was gifted with knowing where all small parts to old Happy Meal Toys are instead. (useful, but not chic). I was wondering if you could recommend a fashionable, small cross-body handbag (I spent a long time with my friend Google figuring out what to even call the object of my quest). Right now, I carry a glorified wallet on a string, and it isn’t pretty, though it does contain at least one dart from the recent Nerf toy Happy Meal series. I want to stay with something small and have no idea where to begin looking. Thanks for your consistent fashion intervention (I even watched your scarf how-to a few weeks ago.)
Thanks! (Heather in Tennessee)

I went to Old Navy last week and I actually tried on some skinny jeans. (You know who should *never* wear skinny jeans? Women whose abs have housed four babies, that’s who.) I ran from the scene screaming.

Thanks for the ideas! I get to spend my Kohl’s gift card this week.

I love Forever 21. The bottom of their bag says “John 3:16.” I know what John 3:16 is, but I am not sure why their company has it on their bags.

I went into a Forever 21 store for the first time a few months ago.
I felt really, really old.

Any suggestions for those of us who are busty, but love the rosette top? I am a size 10 in body, but D in the chest, and this style looks like maternity clothes on me. (Which I wouldn’t mind, were I actually pregnant.) Sigh. Any ideas, or do I just continue to let this style pass me by?

Acid wash?!?! Yikes. Please God, don’t make me start pegging my jeans again. Or bring back those leggings with the elastic that went under my feet, which was worn with socks and flats. Or – horror of horrors – the jelly shoes I wore in elementary school!!

I betcha PW knows what Balletomane means. If I brush away the cobwebs in my brain I think I can recall it as a ballet term. That blouse looks like the ruffly thing she bought and then MM didn’t like. Maybe you could borrow it?

More horrors: I saw a cute young thing with her hair pulled back in a BANANA CLIP. where did she find that?
