| When you see high school kids wearing tory burch shoes then you know that it is over. I hate wearing clothes or shoes which scream the designer's name |

| I agree. I bought a pair last year and always feel goofy when I wear them. (Tory Burch flats with the emblem). She has way over done the emblem thing, I wish she hadn't as I like a lot of her things in general. |

Gap capris are cute on most people. |

| I like Boden. It's preppy/boho/cute. Kind of pricey but I mix their stuff with Gap and it seems to work well. |

A lot of people in this area have cash for it, including myself. Instead of criticizing, you could have offered more budget-friendly suggestions if that is what you are familiar with. |

I'm the poster that mentionned them to begin with - agree 100%, I bought mine 3 years ago and am so over it already, but unfortunately it's part of the "uniform" in this area. Looking for another option but haven't found one yet that isn't $400

I just ask for the love of all things fashionable, not Tory flats. SO over. You will look very five years ago.
However, her tunics are a great investment, and for summer are one of those things that will keep you comfortable yet stylish. All things Indian were all over the runways for fall, so if you can find a cute Sari or Indian-print tunic, you'll look of the moment as well. You can get great jeans, and the waistlines are moving upward (but not toward mom jean territory), which is great. I would start at Gap/Old Navy, then Denim Bar, Barneys Co-Op, etc, and just find your own perfect pair, as they're different for everyone. It's worth spending a bit of money on those as you'll wear them to death. For summer, I would get a stack of flattering scoop-neck T's (I haven't seen the neckline of Old Navy's this season, but you don't need to spend a lot, as most of the expensive ones, like James Perse, are totally see-through and not all that flattering anyway). But once you find a good one, get several, especially white, and make sure they are a bit fitted. Get a few pairs of knee-length shorts (Juicy seems to make a few cute pairs every season); agreed on the Jack Rogers which can be very adorable with certain outfits. Invest in a cute belt, some fun jewelry (check out Erickson Beamon's line now at Target--their higher end stuff is gorgeous), and there you have it. |

I am going to keep wearing my Tory Burch reva flats because, quite simply, I like them and I am not throwing anything away because its "over" - a ridiculous reason to stop wearing something that you like and that you spent good money to buy. Maybe its because I am not from DC originally (from the UK where nothing is wasted), or because I am a little older (44) and not interested in being at the cutting edge of fashion, but I have never heard anything quite so barmy! If an outft is well put together it really does not matter where each item is bought or if they are "over". They come in so many fun colors and brighten up any outfit. I love her tunics and dresses also and they help make a fun comfy ensemble - not crazy about her sweaters though.
I agree with all the above ideas - good shoes, jeans and fun jewelry and belts and even a nice scarf (love the small hermes ones) if worn cleverly. Love little cardigans ( a la J Crew/ Banana Republic/ Ralph Lauren) and I am always on the look out for unique tops, sweaters and cardigans to wear with jeans. |

What a snob you are! I hope you have a baby who vomits on your $300 shoes. |

Keep yourself in shape, PP, and you can look good in just about anything! You don't need Tory! Put on a Gap T, an old faded pair of Levis and some sneakers, and you're good to go. And do you really think husbands and significant others are scrutinizing name brand clothes? They prefer to see us w/o our clothes on. My philosophy - If you're good on the inside, you'll look good on the outside, despite what you're wearing (or what you're NOT wearing). 8) |

| Sweats & jammies rule in my area. The two main reasons DHs cheat on SAHMs - the SAHMs are boring beyond belief & they look like hell. |

My husband could really care less if I am wearing Joe's or sweat pants. If that's the reason your husband cheats then you have a horrible marriage don't you? Why say such an asinine thing on a thread about clothes. Insecure much? |

PP, I am so sick of you. Jealous much? Insecure much? [insert variable here] much? Get some new material.
And stop painting everything with such a broad brush. Physical attraction is an important element in any intimate relationship. Some men find sweats sexy. Some (the majority) don't. If a wife keeps wearing sweats all the time when she knows her spouse finds it unattractive, she's basically giving him the bird. Should he leave? I don't know. Would it say something TERRIBLE about their marriage if he left because of that? I don't know -- depends on the rest of the circumstances. If you're husband loves you in sweats -- great. It's really all about caring enough about your partner to try to please him. |
