+1 Their styles are getting younger and younger. I love, love florals and lace, but this stuff lately has been tacky or better suited for my 16 year old niece.


It's off to Chico's with you; you have aged past the store.

Gross.

+1000

People get older and they wonder what happened to a company ... It's not the company... It's you.

I am going to start a thread, 30 years ago I loved Gallo wine, what happened to that company, their wine is so cheap and gross now.


Too funny!
