LOL! Cotton! Silk! Machine wash! Dry clean! AHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteI think this is Vulcan for "not buy sweater, not wear sweater." Or not.
DeleteHah, a cardigan with a skirt! This reads like a list of directions for doing something - you know, not that you're supposed to be cotton and silk or machine wash and dry clean simultaneously, but perhaps first you're supposed to be true to size, then cotton, then import, then 15 1/2" long, then import again . . .
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, since Madewell birthed this description, I'd also like to see them pull it off. Kind of like a Project Runway challenge! yes, something that is a cardigan, with a short full skirt, machine wash, but also import, 15 1/2" long, and imported twice over.
Hi, Life as a Cat, I used to collect these bloopers from another galaxy and post them regularly, but it got repetitious. This one? Couldn't resist.
DeleteOMYGOSH. See this just makes me depressed! Hasn't it been a terrible day with the hideous September roll-out of poly and other crud? Oh Fred it's been a hard week and mostly for you. Has Himself managed a decent dinner? Have the disorder purchases started arriving?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Berna's to drink wine in her garden: the only antidote, and I wish I could pick you up along the way!
I think the internet stole my response to you earlier and I can never recreate my wittiness more than once!!
ReplyDeleteWe must quit our jobs and write the Great American Movie! You are too funny! and your attention to detail is amazing to someone such as I who has no attention to detail whatsoever ( i even misspelled detail a moment ago and had to correct...)
I will be your sidekick. When we are well and truly famous, we can send for others. I am pretty sure Micky will back us..
p.s. - my part of the movie will be the minority canadian perspective, best used during those pesky 1812 overtures...
DeleteHope all is well on the homefront..
Dani, how sweet, I wish you could too! We had a day of follow-up with doctors, then came into the city and on the way in picked up barbeque at our favorite Smokehouse for dinner, apparently Q is arugula-free. There will be 3 doctor visits next week which he wants to cancel but only if I don't strangle him first.
ReplyDeleteYes, I had some minor disappointments, I thought the roll-out would be a treat and a safe distraction in case I stress-shopped again. Well, not so much. The new catalog has not arrived, and I am literally less than 350 feet from a JC store. How do they do it? I just wanted a simple treat, well, guess what, got a 20% code from Amazon's new clothing division and ordered a pair of Chies to try. Noone else has them, so I'm sure they'll go fast.
The French hen sweaters arrived. For some reason, sometimes merch gets here very quickly. In the peace of Flintstone Towers, I was able to observe a new content label on the neckline of each: "includes cashmere." Another label, on an interior seam, specifies how much. Guess the Great Shaggy Himalayan Goat strolled by the spinning machine... I'm dubious about the colors, but I think I'm pallid from aggro. I'm taking pics for my Christmas gala (three French hens...). Don't know about keeping,
Hi, WMM, your first task is to find a recipe as goofy or goofier than those on my Domestic Goddess page! (hint: the ones containing alcohol are things I actually make and are meant to be taken seriously, so you should look at the others for reference).
ReplyDeleteLol!! Thank you WFF for always cracking me up.
ReplyDeleteDon't thank me, thank Dear Leader and the Intergalactic Design Team. They live to serve.
DeleteHumor is a virtue. Thanks for making me laugh. Your creative and quirky take on J Crew's copywriter from space always puts a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteThanks, AMW, I have to admit that sometimes I feel guilty because it's such an easy target.
ReplyDeletewellfedfred - Thank you so much for making me laugh at the end of a very hectic day (which included the disappointing news about this year's Sterling skirt). You are the best! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope that all is going well for you and himself. Is he getting plenty of rest? I am hoping and praying for a continued speedy recovery. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. :)
thank you, FFM! I'd been planning that somehow there would be a Sterling in a color that would tone in with the wine-y color on my new Creatures of etc twinset, and then got the news about this year's Sterlings. Well, in the great scheme, this is not a tragedy, and I am able to recognize that I am truly blessed in so many ways... but would it have been too much to throw in a nice wool skirt too?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, We are out of the hospital, pursuing all of the followups that become medically necessary when the magic word ❤is mentioned, and I am trying not to strangle the love of my life. Really trying.
Men can be difficult when they get sick. My women patients can be at death's door and still be planning a dinner party ( "you have to get me better by Sat, I have 12 coming" "Nooooo you have a 104 fever"). Mr Lane spent a year on blood thinner too; if you have the same amount of arugula occasionally it works out. Poor him, but poor you! This will settle down.
ReplyDeleteI too am reeling about the Sterling-- 2 inches shorter? And says internet only so can't go try it on. I visited our new store up here in Darkest Maine this week and left with only tights.
Hi, Lane, we'll get used to the routine, no choice. And in another few weeks we'll all be wondering about the. October rollout. Andso it goes.
DeleteGuess the Great Shaggy Himalayan Goat strolled by the spinning machine... LOL - just blew ice water out my nose! Who needs a neti pot - not me.
ReplyDeleteIn love with the beret bird sweater and haven't even seen it in person yet. Which color did you prefer? Did you find it scratchy? I like the contrast on the acorn one but have a feeling that color won't work on me. Why oh why didn't one of those warehouse workers stuff a 20% discount card in one of my (many) packages? I am sad. Want sweater but not at want full price. Boo.
So glad to hear himself is out of hospital. Have patience with the follow-ups; easier said than done, I know.
Thanks, shop a lot, I'm doing a separate post about the hens. Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteJ.Crew needs to back away from the bong. They have cut so many corners and fiddled with so many things, they no longer know what they are selling.
ReplyDeleteHi, xoxo, absolutely. Or as (insert name of old-time TV comedian here) used to say, "Who's watching the store?"
