Every year, come spring, I want a white bohemian-inspired blouse. And I'm really liking this one from Free People — it's reasonably priced, and I love the slub knit, the seam on the arms, and the drawstring sleeves. It's $78 at ShopBop in white (but note that Zappos also has it in sea-green and navy, marked down to $60.)

@ also going anon for this one: I love the idea of thinking about “our story.” What a great way to remind myself that we are all living our own lives, and no on else’s!
@Happily Single: You’re right, it’s not a race. Need to remind myself of that one too sometimes!
I need marriage/career help. My husband and I are political opposites. I just saw a post for a great job, almost a dream job for a national organization that is extremely liberal. The problem is that this group has openly attacked many of the people whom my husband holds in high regard, and I agree, unfairly. In my view, the hate speech is so ugly whether the groups are left or right that I want to stay out of it. But, this job deals with another area of advocacy that I am interested in. Hubby is hurt and angry. I am upset that he pretty much told me not to apply which is out of his character. What now?
Do you really want to work for an organization that, in your words, has “unfairly” attacked people??
