Clothing clarification
Uh, yeah, so when I talked about how the new clothes I'd bought wound up being see-through, I should have explained a bit more. No, they're not from Frederick's of Hollywood (dude, are they still in existence?) and no, they're not from Forever 21. They're from JJill, Title Nine, and Garnet Hill (which, actually, those clothes showed up Tuesday and are decidedly NOT translucent. Score!). The two tops I got from JJill didn't look initially like they'd be a problem. They certainly didn't online. One is a traditional short-sleeved, button-down white shirt. It looked super conservative online, and I thought I could liven it up with a cool necklace or something. The second is a kicky short-sleeved lavender blouse (for lack of a better word). Again, I want to emphasize that neither looked translucent online. I guess they have better lighting in The Internet than I have here At Home, because as soon as I put each of those tops on, I looked down and saw... everything. That was last week. On Monday, my order from Title Nine arrived. The first top is a white long-sleeved shirt that's bunched (quite possibly the wrong word) in the front. The second is a fun 3/4 sleeve baseball top (they call it a "slugger tee") with a white trunk and red sleeves. I tried both on as soon as I got home on Monday. SEE-THROUGH. John suggested that maybe this was the way fashion was headed, and that I might need to consider changing my sensibilities. Instead, I went online and bought some camisoles so that I can layer, which (I agree with Jeci here) I think is the way the kids wear things these days. Keeping up with fashion- not so grate, akshully!
