Wednesday’s TPS Report: Leopard Jacquard Pencil Skirt

137 Comments

1. Please tell me I’m not the only one wondering why the model isn’t wearing a shirt.

   1. Sometimes I think they do that so you can see exactly how high the waist sits.

      At least, I hope that’s why…

   2. I’m more concerned with the backwards pose with the a** out (b/c that’s how I always stand at work … ) and the zipper on the front right — how far does that unzip???

      I think zipper + all that spandex (with a smidgen of that backwards pose) = not for me.

      1. Did you see the view from the side? My jaw dropped!

         1. I’m not feeling this skirt. It’s too va-va-voom for the office because of the fit and the zipper. I’d rather spend the money on a well-fitted classic black pencil skirt – boring, maybe, but I can pair that with just about everything for years to come.

            1. This.

            2. What is wrong with the zipper?

               I think this skirt would look nice on anyone who bought her real size and didn’t stick her butt out in an exaggerated manner.

            3. Not the regular zipper – the one on the front.

         2. OMG, so did mine. Never mind officeworthy – I wouldn’t even want to wear that on public transit or down the street to lunch.

   3. That was my first thought!!!

2. Bebe, hmm! Note the tiny zipper dangling at front. An interesting touch. I wonder how corporettes will feel about that. Subtle, but suggestive?

   I love how it’s styled with nothing but a set of firm abs :)

   1. I find the whole “scandalized by zippers” thing so Victorian! I mean, if it was crazy, sure, but I feel like this is a bit “that hussy showing her ankles!”

      1. Snort.

      2. I don’t think it’s being Victorian at all. There’s a difference between, “OMG her ankles, or worse, her knees, are showing!” and having a skirt that unzips to reveal more thigh than should be shown at work. Going out, fine, show however much skin you feel comfortable with. But I think most of us are viewing this as a piece of clothing for the office and that is where our problem with it is.

      3. “scandalized by zippers” is too simplistic by half. zippers are functional (and are occasionally exposed, for design purposes). big deal.

         the problem with this one is that its function would appear to any observer to be choose-your-own-skirt-slit, including (presumably) most of the way up one’s thigh. not scandalous, but not exactly appropriate for many offices, and this was suggested as office attire.

      4. Meh, there’s been a lot of discussion of exposed zippers looking slutty and I find that weird–the slit thing is different, I suppose, but only if exercised! I think it’s just all kind of silly.

      5. It’s true. The first group of comments on this skirt is so off-puttingly, sadly snotty– Collette called it “superior in an inferior way”– that it verges comically into charming. “Victorian” is exactly the word for it.

         It wouldn’t have mattered what the skirt looked like. The judgement was in. It was a fix.

         1. I think the judgement was in because of how tight the skirt looked on the model and the zipper gave off the wrong vibe for work. The fix was because of how it looked, nothing else. As for the comments being “supperior in an inferior way” – pot meet kettle.

         2. who is Collette? that reference is passing me by.

            love Corporette, but this site is nothing if not judgmental (not all the time – but often). hey, like it or leave it, i guess.

3. General pencil skirt question: I have trouble fitting into pencil skirts because my quads stick out in the front and thus make the fabric “smile.” But it doesn’t really matter how large the pencil skirt is; there is always this problem because my torso is flat and then my quads just decide to go stick out.

   But I am obviously not the only person with quads that stick out! (Doesn’t everybody who has a BMI of over 18.5 have quads that stick out?) Does anyone have a similar problem, and how do you deal?

   1. Actually, even the bebe model seems to be showing a hint of this.

   2. Maybe it’s a matter of the cut of the skirt? I have pencil skirts that don’t do that (which are cut a bit straighter) and I have more booty-licious pencil skirts (which are cut narrower – that I don’t wear to the office) that do that. I think that something that hugs and cups you back side is going to be more prone to have the quad-sticking-out problem.

   3. I have this problem with pencil skirts, but for me the issue is my booty. I’m not a big person, but I’m a runner and have muscular legs/bum. I’ve tried sizing up, but to get rid of the “smile” I usually have to go two sizes up and then the skirt is too loose in the waist and spins around as I walk. Recently I’ve decided to just stick with A-line skirts and other skirts that are fitted at the waist but not at the thigh/booty. (FWIW, I just got the BR “Ponte Riding Skirt” and it’s really flattering.)

      1. I have the same problem and my solution has been to avoid skirts entirely. I just don’t wear them at all unless it’s 95+ out.

      2. Just ordered the BR Ponte Riding skirt in both colors on your recommendation! I have the same issue with the “snile” + going up = giant in the waist. Hope it works for me, although I do love the clean silohuette of a pencil skirt. Wish I could wear it more!

      3. I really wanted to love the ponte riding skirt and just couldn’t for some reason. I think it was the shape of it making it look a little shorter than it actually as on me.

      4. I have this problem with my quads as well. I always wear spanks with pencil skirts – I find that they pull in my quads just enough that it decreases the “smile” effect, and I can still wear a size that fits well everywhere else.

   4. Does this still happen if you get a thicker fabric? Can you size up and get the waist taken in? The Halogen skirt (which I wore yesterday for the first time and absolutely love) has become something of a legend on this site because it seems to fit pear-shaped ladies very well and it’s a nice thick fabric.

   5. I find that the problem is often the skirt/dress lining as the fabric used for lining is typically really cheap with no stretch. It ends up pulling on the outer fabric causing unflattering stretching. I even have one dress where I swear the lining shrunk on me while I was wearing it as the slit in the back has an annoying pull up that was not there when I bought it.

   6. Ha! I’d rather have this problem than mine which is that I currently have a slight FUPA. I always love pencil skirts from the front, but pout a little bit at the side view.

      My quads probably stick out when I’m at my ideal weight, but I’m so G.D. glad that the FUPA is gone that I don’t notice/care.

      TMI? Probably. Sorry ladies, it was a late night and I’m feeling spunky.

      1. Am I the only one who doesn’t know what FUPA means? I would like to Google it but am a little afraid that it’s something risque. :)

         1. I had no idea what it meant either. I’m glad I googled it on my personal BlackBerry though ;)

         2. Good decision not to google it :)

            It means Fat Upper P*ssy Area

            1. Urgh, is this something that really needs an acronym?

               Nothing against MissJackson for using an existing term, but really??? Who decided we needed to describe this, ladies?

               /victorian

            2. MissJackson if you’re nasty.

            3. Sorry. I know it’s kind of crude. I don’t know how else to describe it, though. A fabulous women old enough to be my mother taught me this term when I was waiting tables in high school…. and it’s kind of hard to un-learn.

               And, yes: “no my first name ain’t baby.”

            4. Glad you got the reference, MissJackson! I meant no offense, but couldn’t resist. I love that song.

            5. Certainly no offense taken — that song is where my Corporette name came from! I’m neither a “Miss” nor a “Jackson”. And I’ll try not to be “nasty” anymore (but no promises).

            6. Or Pubic. Men can have a FUPA too (or is it p—s then?). I don’t like the term myself; it just sounds icky even without thinking of what it stands for. We need to come up with a better term. Lower belly? That’s nice and neutral.

            7. Oh, MissJackson! I got my first waitress job in a dinner with the old ladies who used to work on Miami Beach in the 1950’s. Boy did I learn a thing or two from those broads! lol!

   7. Maybe you should try having a less flat torso :). Me and my apple belly have no problems with quads sticking out!

      1. Hee, nor me; the idea had never even occurred to me.

   8. I have the same build as you, I think. From the side, my pelvis is in one place and the tops of my quads are about an inch ahead. It’s just how we’re built! We would probably be amazing high-jumpers or something. I buy substantial skirts with lining and make sure they’re the right size and not too stretchy. I don’t really have the “smiling” problem anymore.

      1. This upper quad thing is why my mother has always tried to make me buy pleated pants…

4. I find that little zipper toggle (that’s what it is, right?) in the front kind of distracting and weird. Is that a new trend?

   1. If you go to the website you’ll see that the zipper is so you can have a slit up your thigh, if you so choose. I guess that’s one way of taking this skirt from the office to a night on the town?

   2. Oof, missed the zipper! Wouldn’t be surprised if it conveniently started working its way open just by the tension in the fabric created by walking or sitting. Oh, bebe…

      1. Yeah, I kind of like this skirt (perhaps 4 sizes larger than usual) but for that zipper. I also strongly suspect that the zipper will not stay zipped while walking, especially because there is no other slit/vent on this skirt. No thank you.

      2. I can’t see how high it goes, but I think it’s fine to have a single slit in the front or side instead of in the back so I’d probably open it up.

   3. I didn’t notice the zipper until I hit the zoom. I guess you can’t take the Bebe out of the Bebe. Blech.

   4. My very first suit (The Limited, circa….1999? It was for internship interviews) had a zipper like that. A lot less noticeable than this one.

5. I totally agree that this skirt would be great and is not at all like other Bebe clothes, except for that zipper in the front!

6. Good morning! I’m writing a 3L paper on the power of mentoring… Specifically thinking about women. Anyone read any good articles lately about mentoring in general or women mentoring that might be useful? Also, if you wanted to share experience on your own mentoring experiences be you the mentor or mentee I’d love to read them. Thanks for the help!

   1. I can’t think of a specific article, but I recommend looking at penelopetrunk.com. She does a lot of writing on similar topics and often has good links to research and other articles as well.

   2. (I seriously hate the post to quickly issue)

      Anyway, there was a post last week by mark harrman on above the law about why mentioring is stupid. It might make for a good counter-point part of your article, or potentially why mentoring is good/important for women, not as much for me.

   3. someone posted a link about a week or two ago to a good article on the upsides and downsides of women’s mentoring. sorry, i don’t remember the date. the point was that women’s mentoring groups should focus on talking about jobs and careers, not on a) venting/complaining about men or b) sharing pictures/stories of their kids etc. it was written by a woman who runs a site/blog on career issues.

      i’ve been a mentor and mentee both. in a nutshell, the biggest downfall is when both parties aren’t clear and transparent from the outset on what they want out of the relationship, what their goals are for the experience, and what their time commitment will be. i’ve seen a lot of mentoring relationships fall apart for those reasons.

   4. I had two good experiences with mentornet over here in STEM land. You’re assigned a mentor/mentee for a 1 year period and you exchange emails for a year. It gives you a perspective from an outside experienced professional that is very valuable. I learned a lot, and culminated each experience by meeting with the respective mentor face to face and getting a tour of their work environment. I don’t know how useful their stuff will be to lawyers, but I found it very helpful.

   5. Kat had a good post — remember the one with the lion cub?
      There was another one too, about how older women really want the younger women at the office to succeed and offering helpful tips.

7. MaggieLizer — I downloaded your book suggestion from yesterday — Swimming Lessons for Baby Sharks. I read half of it last night, and I’m loving it! Thank you for the recommendation. It reminds me of the Curmudgeon’s Guide, which I also enjoyed. Of course, I feel like I’ve already made a ton of the mistakes he discusses. I’ve only been at my job for a couple of weeks, so hopefully I can correct any bad impressions if I’ve made them.

   I’ve also downloaded a book about legal writing called Point Made.

   Any other good career books for baby lawyers out there?

   1. Glad it’s helped! I didn’t get the book until a few weeks in, either, so I wouldn’t worry about it if you think you’ve made some mistakes. Most people expect and understand that there’s quite a learning curve.

      On a related note, I can’t believe I’m officially a second year associate today. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m surprised the year has gone by so quickly or because I’m surprised I haven’t been here longer….

   2. Anything by Garner for legal writing/argument will be a fantastic reference guide. I’m a mid-level, and I still use his stuff every time I write.

      1. I recently read his and Scalia’s book “Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges” and thought it was great (though when they disagreed, I thought Garner had better points than Scalia!)

   3. Point Made is the best book I’ve ever read about legal writing. I can’t recommend it more highly!

   4. I don’t know if this is a career book, but check out Bryan Garner’s legal writing books. I think he is the best legal writing instructor in the game today, and his books and lectures have been invaluable for me.

   5. A nice quick read: Jagged Rocks of Wisdom. I have read and enjoyed the one with general practice tips, and there’s also one about legal writing.

8. Okay, what are we wearing?

   It’s rainy and gray in New York, and after soaking myself yesterday morning (thank you, F train) and yesterday evening after my WeWa meeting, I broke out the fall clothes. Today: teal dolman sleeve cowl neck sweater, Ann Taylor Loft. Spice brown slim-leg cords, Lands End Canvas. Brown boots, Corso Como. Burgundy glasses by Guess, because the contacts did not want to cooperate today.

   1. grey trousers with a WHBM cream silk shell with chiffon embishment, tucked in and belted with a big purple suade belt. Navy boden cardi, with nearly the same chiffon detail as the shell. purple suade mui mui pumps. tripple strand pearls. diamond studs.

   2. Burgundy wide leg trousers with a grey button-front tucked in, black leather ankle boots, strand of light pink pearls with gold hoop earrings.

      1. Black pants, gray blousy t-shirt, beige-brown cardigan, black pumps, small silver hoops, and a power necklace: yellow amber, purple amethyst, and green pearl.

         1. Blacl wool pants (its in the 60s today), black cami, gray J Crew cardigan with ruffle detail down the front. Black pumps. Small silver hoops.

         2. Oooh… I love the sound of your necklace SAlit-a-gator. Today I was pretty boring with a black 3/4 sleeve CK ponte knit dress (from last year’s Anniversary sale), black tights, black heels, but a killer bronze and labradorite “statement” necklace that I picked up in Hercegovina last weekend.

   3. Transitioning from summer to fall. Navy pinstripe slacks (perfect trousers from gap), brown flats, bright yellow jcrew silk/linen v-neck sweater, gold chain and cream leather necklace.

   4. Zebra print Michael Kors skirt (thrifted), black 3/4 sleeve t-shirt, green necklace, turquoise pumps.

      1. That sounds ridiculously adorable.

      2. You had me at zebra print skirt then rocked me at turquoise pumps. I say WOW.

   5. Brown Neiman Marcus store lable shirt dress (that I bought for something ridiculous like $30 thanks to a commenter’s heads up on this site about 2 years ago), brown knee high riding boots, world’s most comfortable camel colored cardigan, turquoise necklace. It feels like fall.

      1. Hmm. That link seems to have created itself! Weird.

   6. White twist front collared shirt (finally brought out a long sleeved shirt after a nice summer hiatus without them), gray wool pants, pumps – pointy toe, light gold fabric.

   7. BR beige pinstripe plaid pants & yellow 3/4 sleeve button down, brown & tan oxfords w/ 2.5 inch heels & small necklace w/ red beads.

      1. Where did you find the oxfords with a 2.5″ heel? I’ve been looking for just those but can only seem to find flat oxfords or 4″ heels on them. TIA!!!

         1. Kohls, but about 2 years ago. I’ve seen some at victoria’s secret too, but they are probably closer to 4 inch

            1. Thanks! I’ll have to check out Kohls this weekend ;)

   8. Black cap-sleeve lightweight wool Calvin Klein dress with asymmetrical neckline and sash. Red patent slides. And, because I’m cold at my desk, black wool cardigan that stays in the office and never leaves.

      Ses, now you’ll know how to spot me later.

   9. Rainy and gray in NH, too. I’m wearing a bright red Calvin Klein dress I bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale (I figured a gloomy fall day was a great time to inaugurate it!), nude-to-me heels, and a chunky gold bracelet.

      1. wow – that Nordstrom link appeared out of nowhere, too, MissJackson.

         1. Well, at least I’m not crazy, then…

            1. I think it’s the ads service Kat uses. For certain brands, this happens automatically. Not your fault.

      2. Rainy and cold but trying to spice it up!

         Leopard TB Reva flats, dark chocolate brown Ellie Tahari wool pants, Green J. Crew Jackie Cardigan, Ikat print Scarf with a deep rose background and brown, orange, tan and green print, various gold bracelets, horeshoe diamond earrings and tank watch.

         Definitely a little boho chic for my conservative office but I really needed to add some punch to this day.

   10. Khaki cuffed trousers, navy/bluish grey striped cowl neck top, navy flats. Feels like fall today! Though will be right back to summer later this week.

   11. It is grey and rainy here to so I also broke out the fall clothes…

       light grey jcrew sheath dress, orange jcrew herringbone cropped blazer, dark grey target tall boots, coral and silver earings, silver watch and bracelet.

       1. too!! arg.

   12. Usually I don’t respond because I’m at school, not work — but I’m wearing bright red skinny pants with knee high boots and an orange v-neck sweater on top of a printed top with a bow at the collar. Probably wouldn’t work for most offices!

       1. This sounds awesome. If I saw you walking down the street I would think you were way cool and off to somewhere more fun than my office.

   13. Cloudy but dry in London, refusing to accede to fall just yet, I have navy skirt with black printed flowers, pink blouse, pearls, ivory shoes (we don’t have Labour Day here and they’re not white). For commuting – white blazer (see above re shoes).

   14. A barrel. Who’s coming over Niagara Falls with me?

       1. Black tahari dress with lilac and puble and white flower pattern (think mod, not victorian), belted (N. Rack), purple B. Makowsky heels from today’s shoe post, blueberry cardi Nic&Zoe (favorite stuff of mine, their line was) from Nordie’s, 2 strands of perals – small black and larger greys interspersed – bought separately in ChinaTown in SF and remade this weekend to alternate the pearls and have two different lengths of strands), grey pearl earrings (Nordies again), silver watch/bracelet/wedding rings.

          It’s cooled off (relatively speaking, highs of 92 and lows of 62) in Houston…but pleeeeeease send the rains) …

       2. Me!

          Also, it should be mentioned that you’re kind of amazing. :)

   15. Feeling off today – bright purply dress from Macy’s (I forget the label) toned down by a grey blazer and navy pumps (trotters. Not super cute but very comfy), thin gold hoops, gold/silver necklace with pearl accents And mosquito bites at my ankles from hiking, which I didn’t notice until after I was walking around work or I would have worn pants.

       Bunkster, you’ll be able to recognize me by the outfit and also the fact that I’m a giant. Heh. Well… I’m tall.

       1. Khaki pants, black ikat print slvls top, grey blazer, leopard pumps. I was wearing a pair of J Crew bracelets but one of them totally cracked when I knocked it against my desk too hard. And I got soaked from going to an outside luncheon today. Not a good day for me.

          Ses, hope you and Bunkster have a good meetup today – maybe this will lead to a Boston Corporette meetup sometime in the future. : )

   16. Black Elie Tahari sheath dress, moss green cashmere cardigan, green/maroon/yellow/ivory patterned silk scarf, black Sofft heels. Hair up in French roll. Gold studs and my antique diamond ring.

       Trying to get good mileage out of existing clothes since I am on a self-imposed shopping ban (well, basically so I can spend all of the accrued clothing budget during my upcoming trip to London at the end of October).

   17. Ankle-length Gap jeans, flat leather sandals from a shop in Sayulita, Mexico, a gray-with-white-flowers T from Ann Taylor Loft and the black cardi that never leaves my office (for the office AC). And soon to change back into bike shorts and yellow Converse low-tops for the bike ride home. It’s mid-70s and blue skies here, and I’m not going to wool until it’s absolutely necessary!

       And yeah, I work in software. Board meeting tomorrow, though, so I’ll be suited up for that. Especially because it’s not likely to be a fun one.

9. I love navy and black together. I spotted this when getting the gray herringbone Target dress we talked about last week. It’s very pretty in person and the color looks more like the pictures with the model as opposed to the main picture. They didn’t have my size but I’m considering ordering online. Just thought I’d share for those who like the color combo!

   1. Here’s the link:

      http://www.target.com/p/Merona-174-Collection-Women-s-Beth-Woven-Dress-Blue-12/-/A-13580890?ref=tgt_adv_xasd0001&AFID=Performics_Skimlinks&LNM=Primary

      Didn’t want to get stuck in moderation :)

      1. This dress is gorgeous in person, but I opted out of trying it on. I think the material feels about the same as the herringbone dress, and it seems like decent quality. Again, didn’t try it on, so I can’t speak to the link, but I was drawn to this dress from across the aisle. Such a classic and classy cut IMO, and I love a good, deep blue :)

         1. Gah, “length” not “link”.

   2. Regarding the gray herringbone Target dress – did it fit true to size? And how was the length? I apologize if this was discussed on a prior date!

10. Skirt grips the skinny model’s booty; doesn’t bode well for this booty.

    1. Almost a perfect corporette haiku!

       1. ha! actually – it is a perfect 5-7-5, no? this could turn into a fun game…

          skirt grips the skinny
          model’s booty; doesn’t bode
          well for this booty

          1. I think this should be the new Corporette game. Haiku critiques.

             1. I think this should be the new Corporette game. Haiku critiques.

             2. Welcome to the club
                My zipper’s unzipped fully
                No office wear here.

             3. Leopards? They don’t wear
                jacquard in the wild. Ever.
                Leave it on the rack.

    2. Skirt grips the skinny

       :)

       1. LMAO! I just re-visited this thread… and didn’t realize I’m actually poetic ;-D

       2. Haiku is to verse,
          I think, as Ellen is to
          Corporette dot com.

          1. Thank you! I wonder why KAT always delays and most of the time deletes my coments? I have alot of ideas and peeple like to hear them.

             1. I was skeptical about you at first, Ellen, but now I’m a fan.

                These days your comments tend to me make me smile, even when they’re off-topic.

             2. Sounds like a cute alot.

11. Just fell in love with a pair of shoes. http://tinyurl.com/3q9y3lc
    And just wanted to share.
    Zara online is going to be dangerous!

    1. Love those! I’m avoiding online Zara at all costs. I can’t afford to shop right now!

    2. Yea online Zara! Very dangerous to the bank account indeed. I wish the model’s head wasn’t cut off, though–it’s somehow disconcerting.

       Any thoughts on Zara sizing relative to other brands?

    3. There is also Massimo Dutti online now.

       1. I am also curious about Zara sizing. I suspect smaller since their European, but don’t know for sure.

          1. I don’t know….I’ve had some decent luck with the sizing of Zara tops but whenever I try on one of their dresses or skirts, I end up feeling just….not right. Not that it doesn’t technically fit, I just feel kind of squirrelly and uncomfortable. But I have Hips. So if you don’t, you are probably going to be fine.

    4. Adorable. Want.

12. Threadjack!

    About two weeks ago I woke up to QVC selling the Clarisonic Plus as the deal of the day; it comes with the basic face and body brush. But it also comes with a new brush! A deep pore cleansing brush! And the icing on the cake was that it also comes with 3 full sized Bliss products. All for less than $200.00! I was sold and purchased it within 5 minutes of waking up.

    So I finally got it in the mail yesterday and used it for the first time last night. And I have to say that my face felt great afterwards and looks pretty fabulous today. I can’t wait to see the results over time.

    I’m curious to read what results the hive got from using this little gem. Please post!

    1. I got the Mia about 3 weeks ago, and I love it. My face is much smoother, and I think it’s cleaned out my pores/made them appear smaller. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

       I’m interested in this body brush aspect…

       1. I’m going to try the body brush soon and post an update in a few weeks once I see what I’m working with ;-)

          I totally noticed a difference in the area around my nose. It cleaned that area in a way I’ve never been able to manage.

          I think I’m going to spring for one for my mom for the holidays, I think she’ll love it!

       2. I’ve got the body brush-it came with my set, which was a christmas gift from my mother last year. So far, it’s pretty awesome. the body brush is just a larger, stiffer brush. Works very nicely for smoothy out elbows when they get dry skin patches.

          I saw the deep pore brush yesterday when I was looking online to order brush replacements. I’m intrigued–I feel like my nose has some pores that the regular brush just can’t quite get clean. Let us know how it works!

    2. I have the Olay knockoff and I love it. I used to have all these bumps and clogged pores and they were gone within a month of using it. It hasn’t cured all my skin problems, but it does make my skin much cleaner and softer. I use it with my usual cleanser, which is Paula’s Choice.

    3. I got the Mia because my preggo skin is doing wacky things and, after 3 weeks of using once or twice a day, I am sold. No new monstrous breakouts, of the kind that I was getting daily only a month ago.

    4. That is such a good deal! I like my Clarisonic, but be warned – when you first get it, you are all excited and want to use it every night, but don’t!! At least until you figure out whether your skin can take it. My skin felt amazing at first, but then after a few days started turning red and getting irritated and dry. My skin is pretty sensitive generally, though, so maybe you won’t have issues. I’m limited to using the Clarisonic once or twice a week, which is fine. I alternate between that and an exfoliation scrub for ever-other-day exfoliation, seems to work.

    5. LOVE MINE. I got it for my birthday a couple of years ago, and couldn’t live without it now. I have the full size one and I’m thinking about getting a Mia for travel. I hate having to be away from it but it’s just too big to lug around!

       I’m due for a brush replacement and saw the deep cleaning brushes. Will have to try those next.

13. I’ve berm using the Plus for about three weeks and LOVE it. About three years ago (around my 27th birthday) I started breaking out. I used to have flawless skin (even through adolescence) and all of the sudden my face looked like a teenagers. I tried everything – facials, multiple (and quite pricey) skincare lines, retinol, visits to the dermatologist, Chinese herbs, heck – I became a vegan for a few months. My skin would show some improvement and then I’d have huge cystic acne on my chin and jawline before my period.

    Since I started using the Plus, my pores are smaller, my face brighter, and I’m due for my period with only one pimple on my jaw line which was brought to the surface after using the Clarisonic and “popped” w/ virtually no effort. Ive also noticed that a couple pores which were very clogged easily became unclogged after using the Clarisonic.

    My SO has commented on how beautiful my skin looks multiple times since I started using it and acknowledged that the Clarisonic restored my pretty face back to it’s old self. I’m hooked!

    I’m interested to hear more about the deep pore cleanser attachment.

14. A little late to ask but all you new lawyerettes: how was the first day? Anyone with me in the very crowded conference room (and wondering when we’ll get those cubes and blackberries)?

    1. Ha, we are totally at the same place. If you see this, I’m group A, and I’ll be leaving work early tomorrow (Friday) for a doctor’s appointment. Guess I have to volunteer for a morning arraignment sim.
