Greetings from Chicago. Real Winter Weather Dressing

Yes, that's real snow. No, it didn't melt by noon.

American Apparel: Knit Sweater Crew Neck Dress

Here's the sweater dress I mentioned last posting:

Pardon my experimentation with figuring out what shoes to wear with it. I can fully appreciate fashion bloggers now because styling clothes is kind of difficult. 

Anyway, this dress is awesome. 

I love you, I hate you - more American Apparel

Between standing stores, the eBay outlet, and the online store, American Apparel really lacks cohesion when it comes to prices. It's not so bad all of the time. For whatever reason, prices in one area are not reflective of the prices in another area. It's not so bad. 

I was in the Round Rock outlets today. The American Apparel store there is not an outlet store, it just happens to be in an outlet mall. I came across the Knit Crew Neck Sweater Dress which I had been mildly curious about. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it on. I remembered it being moderately expensive on the website. Well, it looked mighty fine and for some reason at that store, it was marked down to $20!!! There was an additional discount of 30% so I bought two dresses each being about $14 originally priced at $65 which is the running price online at the eBay store. 

Pictures & reviews to come soon. 

American Apparel, you confuse me sometimes, but I love you. 

Check out American Apparel stores this holiday season. 

The Age of the Internet

I'm going to pull one out of left field here - and for my international audience which seem to make a decent percentage of my readership (Thank you for reading BTW) that means here's something that is seemingly out of place. While I could say that this is to some degree a clothing blog, I'd like to frame it more as an issue blog. Closet can mean lots of things anyway.

One issue that I've come out on (so to say) is online dating. The internet industry has grown to the point where, for the most part, people know that there is a real person on the other end of the LAN cable that you happen to be typing your information into, you can read the tweets of Justin Bieber, or Lady Gaga, you can even solicit perfect strangers for advice on how to litter train kittens.

So what is the issue with meeting someone online?
