So this post is from a defunct (but still on the web) blog. She doesn't care for many of the current (well 2007) J. Crew fashions. She says the last time she bought anything from J. Crew was in 2002, so it is no wonder the way the outfits looked disturbed her so much. She makes a lot of fun of the "prairie" dress that I mentioned from my post about the Paris Catalog (written on 2/8/09). Oh, well, to each his/her own.

Oh...and I guess I can add not everyone agrees with me in many different places. On the J. Crew Aficionada page (monday...2/9/09...I post drafts a day late sometimes), there was a post war between the "TJ Maxx for people who can't afford anything else"and the "who the hell cares who buys what where" people. There were more people involved in the argument, and it sort of spun out of control to the point of the post was lost...the exchange of goods, weekly. I made a plea for people to stay on task (meaning posting about the weekly exchange and not other random opinions) so that Alexis wouldn't shut down the post to those of us who hunt for items we would like...and I got some really awful responses to my plea. Ugh. I fear for the J. Crew Aficionada site. Soon, if this keeps up, no one will go for fear of dealing with the miscreants making it no fun to be part of this forum. Real shame.
Oh, and the people who posted snarkily back about my comment were all anonymous users. Hmm...can dish it but can't take it, huh?
I did apologize for making so many people angry (in the post...I think I am comment #199), but I doubt it had any effect. You just can't win sometimes! :)
