Any...I know I'm terribly late in commenting, sorry. Anyways, I agree with many of the commenters in that you give options for the mundane. My favorite was the shoes post. I've been dying to find an original pair of black pumps and thanks to you I went and bought those "prick" toed shoes (btw, my first day of wearing them I fell twice but have since learned to walking 3.5" and platforms). The only criticism I'd give has already been said: not so many fluffy/frilly blouses/dresses, they're not exactly universally flattering.

I've noticed many women wear fashionable items that don't flatter their figure; they want to keep up with the latest and greatest and desire to look trendy overtakes their commonsense. You offer them a way to still look current without squeezing into an ill-fitting number by posting so many resources for where to find flattering items for all body types; please don't take that away. I'm not the most fashion conscious, I'd be the person buying the Ann Taylor window no matter how poorly it fit me (and at 5' 2", not much does fit well), but I've been able to get around my height problem! <BR/>Please don't take negative comments to heart; everyone may be entitled to their opinion but that doesn't make it the prevailing voice - your readers depend on you!BmoreFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480174403380253379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-71559612692990266572008-01-04T16:11:00.000-05:002008-01-04T16:11:00.000-05:00how come PB has posted anything in a couple of wee...how come PB has posted anything in a couple of weeks?
