Lately I'm loving the aggressively casual t-shirts at Anthropologie, such as this notched-necked, loose tee with an uneven, almost ragged hem. Nice. It's new to the sale section, too — it was $68 but is now marked to $40, it's available in eight colors and sizes XS-XL. Notched V-Neck Tee
P.S. Please take the Corporette Survey (and enter the giveaway) if you haven't already. (I forgot to mention this, but I'll be randomly selecting the winner of the giveaway next Friday, 5/17.)

And some of our latest threadjacks here at Corporette (reader questions and commentary) — see more here!
Some of our latest threadjacks include:
Can anyone tell me how j crew (super 120s) suit sizing runs. I am usually a small or 6 is most clothes (hourglass shape), but have heard j crew can run big (also I’m an 8 in theory suits which run small). I think I would be a 6 in the j crew blazer but am not sure about the emmaleigh dress – does it run true to size or do you recommend a 4?
The Emmaleigh dress was TTS, in my opinion – even a little bit on the small side if you have wider hips.
Not sure about the dresses, but I find that the Super 120s skirts and blazers run big – I am usually a 2/4 (blazer/skirt) (including in Theory) and at JCrew my suiting size is 0/2. Not quite an hourglass – more boyish up top, small shoulders – but I do have fairly wide hips/thighs for my overall size and still found I needed to size down. The salesperson also specifically noted to me that their suits are “known for” needing to size down …
You sound about my size except I am also petite. I generally wear a reg 6 (on top; I am a c cup) or 8p at AnnTyler and BB.
However, I had heard that Jcrew ran small, or at least, very narrow and not cut for hourglass so I ordered my first item from them (Memo dress in super 120’a) in a regular 8 (this was also the only size left on sale ;) ) and it is definitely way too big all over – in the chest, waist, and hips.
Cat Vacuum Update:
The good news is, she loves the brushes.
The bad news is, the sound of the air with the the brush attached to the hose still scared the bejeebers out of her.
I am not completely defeated yet, however; I may eventually purchase a vacuum cleaner that has variable power and try again. But as I have 2 vacuums already (canister and upright), that will not be anytime soon.
