On Let's Discuss the Merits of Anthropologie (The Clothing Store, Not the Discipline)

Worked there for a spell. I’ll never forget the $1,000 chair that splintered and shattered for no discernable reason and the high prices for what is, after all, polyester. ETA: after reading above about sales on Tuesday, I went to just, you know, look, and bought a shirt I've been stalking. So there's that.

On On Being Rich

On I Spent My $66,000 Inheritance on Basically Nothing

Allison, I was wondering how much of the problem came from the sort of normalizing effect from fashion blogs' constant emphasis on the new? Some of the more commercial blogs never repeat the clothes, and it seems like (this sounds parental or something) a bad environment. Thanks for writing this--you are totally brave for it!
