    I think the Princess’s suit is too short for her. The pants should be a good two to three inches longer.

    Wow, I did not realize that a $298 cardigan is “a wardrobe item that should last a year or two”.

    I love these “round-up” posts, they always have some great articles and blog posts that I would never find on my own. It would be great if C could do more of these throughout the week! (for those of us who don’t do twitter)
