    Acrylic, polyester, and rayon don't trap heat. I can't stand clothes that are designed to appear warm but don't do their ostensible job. It's like "Let's add bulk but still leave women shivering at bus stops." One more rant: if "Imported" means "Made in China" just say "Made in China." Some of us are trying to boycott an oppressive country that kills its own citizenry in mobile death vans.

    Sorry, I've been sweater-shopping this week because I am freezing my ass off and it's just maddening sorting through the racks at things that look cozy but aren't. Nothing is made of pure wool or cotton anymore, just cheap Chinese synthetics. I finally found some suitable stuff thrifting, but lordy, that's a time-consuming shopping method. #grumpyoldbiddy #delias

    Swear to god they recycled the same issue theysent me in 11th grade, 1998, except 'shopped the clothes to make them uglier.

    I can haz Buffy and four other strong female-driven nighttime dramas on major networks?

    (I must confess: I saw those shoes at DSW about six months ago and I drooled. But I'm much, much too old now.)

    A lot of people are referencing their plaid memories of 90s grungedom, but I am a child of the late 90s Abercrombie and Fitch preppydom, and there was a lot of plaid there, too. I loved it then and I love it now. I have plaid converse and I love them :) #delias

    Oh no!!!

    I wore plaid and "flannel" style clothing in elementary school. Loved it in fifth grade - wore it in Jr High as part of the baggy pants, short shirt underneath, boots look.

    I do not need to relive that.

    I never know how to feel about the Blowfish boots. Part of me wants to like them, but is prohibited by the part that thinks it looks like you forgot to take off your slippers before you left for work.

    And I covet the purple coats (just not the plaid, furry ones), but after all the posts today about the recession and moving back in with parents, I'm too scared to even look at the price tag. #delias

    Does anyone else feel like the people over at the CFDA (is that what it's called? I still wear stuff from Gap) have had a running bet going for years now? Each year someone tries to introduce (or bring back) a more universally hated trend from another decade (pleated pants! tapered jeans! leggings! sweater vests! harem pants!) and see if they can convince the public to wear it. First one to come up with someone we'll actually refuse to wear wins. That jackpot must be millions by now... #delias

    If they really wanted to do "Hobbit" shoes they should look like big, hairy, feet. 'Cos hobbits don't wear shoes.

    I buy pants from Delias because, no lie, they are the only place I can find ones that fit that are consistent in sizing more often than not. I don't know if it's because I'm super short, or what, but it's bizarre. And I feel weird about it because I'm 30 and it's a juniors catalog.

    I don't mind a little plaid, but buffalo checks are actually really unflattering when they're not broken up with a solid tee or something. You just look like a giant block. It's strange.

    They're really gone banana's with the checks, though. And yet, oddly, don't seem to have even a plain plaid skirt. Which I would wear in a heartbeat.

    The shoes in 13, however, crack me up...becuase I'm pretty sure one of the style is called a "Hobbit". Which, because I'm a nerd, I find hilarious...since hobbits didn't need shoes. That's sort of a defining characteristic of the little buggers. #delias
