I went with a pair of the basic selvage RRL jeans. The saleswoman was all "NEVER WASH THEM" I was like "But" and she was like "NEVER WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU". Totally using this in my SNL audition.

i saw a woman wearing a beaded collar yesterday! i think the difference btwn a collar and a necklace in this case is that the collar sits in a way that makes it appear to be a part of the shirt dress

I mean I can wear my jeans for a few days at a stretch but NEVER washing? jeez

x-post but we're still talking about jewelry and not an embellished item of clothing, right? Confusing!

I don't know, I just passed people quickly on the subway platform. Def seeing more peter pan-style collars even when they're not beaded or anything, just more little round collars on actual clothes--maybe there are also necklaces?

Oh yeah, peter pan collars are huge right now.

The saleswoman also said to hang them up outside in the cold to kill bacteria

this afternoon i went to a warehouse sale featuring the fashions of many quebec designers. the kind of thing that includes three line-ups: to get in, to try things on, to buy things. the longest line was the latter. eesh. i tried on many things, mostly somehow dresses. but they were all just, well, last season and, more importantly, didn't feel like me. i really want more pants but i saw no pants i was into. i probably just need a really sweet pair of black jeans anyway!
so what i ended up buying is perhaps my first slightly severe-art-lady piece of clothing ever, in that it involves a belt, leather, warm fabric and a hood. it's like a grown-up hoodie. it was kind of expensive originally but ON SALE for a justifiable price.
also i bought a new purse yaaay except it doesn't have a fox on it like my old purse boo. but it is v nice nonetheless.

just be thankful they weren't referred to as "power bottoms"

hahaha
you could really make a statement by wearing a power bottom
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Thursday, 8 November 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
power bottoms are a good inventment because they are already broken in but are still EXTREMELY durable and very tough to wear out

I went to the Eddie Bauer outlet after work and got a v nice down car coat in dark green, and a hooded thingy that sort of looks like raver puffy jacket but it was cheap and it's warm and i kind of love it.
