Maybe their success is making them lazy: all of the quality and fulfillment issues make me think they appreciate our business less and less. But you know what?

The fabric has a bit of texture and is not as stiff and wrinkle-prone. The Factory versions have seaming that is quite flattering on my figure and they also have pockets. It's a totally different skirt really, but I like them much better.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-15754426011894324302013-01-10T11:10:45.810-04:002013-01-10T11:10:45.810-04:00In general, I like my pastels on easter eggs, thou...In general, I like my pastels on easter eggs, though I must say I did love the lavender cardigan I purchased last summer.

I can dream). But I love warm weather and dreaming of spring is fun too. I like all of those colors except for the neon lime. They seem kind of passive, though, other than the saturated Bright Indigo and the bright Neon Lime. I guess this is the pastel trend we have been expecting. I expect this will not be the year that J.

Do like the idea of a vivid blue pencil skirt though. Laughing about your repeat name and shade comments WMM. To be fair traditional spring clothes/ hues are probably my least favourite season. But, frankly bit bored, wish JC would return to more the the phenomenal prints and singular (non-neon) hues.
