1. Budgets and unreadable handwriting can both go lick a nut. We're working in EXCEL--so every line is numbered. Instead of writing in between the lines and over the printed information, maybe we could try writing down the row # on another sheet of paper, with the corresponding information that needs to be changed next to the row number.

I don't know what you mean--Old Navy carries no clothes in need of being made fun of.

[cheesecantdial]

Holy Moses! That's a vest!

[ecbean]

a denim vest with fairy embroidery on it.
that's what makes it silly.
Vests are cool, Erin.

[cheesecantdial]

I forgot, sorry.

I also forgot about skinny jeans, legwarmers, tunic sweaters and leggings being cool. No, wait, I didn't forget, I just tried to.

[usestangerines]

We don't have legwarmers....yet....

[cheesecantdial]

well, just you wait, you will. And when you get the new winter line in, make sure you put some shoulder pads aside for me. Ok?

[ecbean]

you know what it is, really?

i thought vests were cool two years ago when i couldn't find them anywhere. and tried to get michael to wear them. and i've always been a fan of the sweater vest... AS YOU KNOW. and the nice ones are only becoming easy to find now.

so... vests WERE cool two years ago when i thought they were cool but they weren't big C Cool.

so yeah. you're right.
Vests are (now) silly.

but still not dress vests on dudes. i maintain that that is the hotness.

[cheesecantdial]

I am always a sweater vest fan, on other people, they look terrible on me.

Every girl today dresses like they are an extra in Newsies. I might be ok with that though.

[ecbean]

yeah an extra boy in newsies.

i will do a little dance the day i see girls in half button boots, long skirts and full lace collars.

GAP: Fall into the 19th century!

oh. speaking of GAP and Old Navy... have you heard of this Forth & Towne business? It's like, fancier than Banana. It's ruining my Volkswagen to Old Navy hierarchy analogy.

[usestangerines]

One of my managers is all sorts of excited about Forth & Towne. I hadnt heard of them.

And, for the record--Im not all against vests--just ugly jean jacket ones with accent paint-fabric-thread doddles on the back. I like the dress-vest and sweater-vest looks.

[usestangerines]

There is a Forth & Towne opening at Perimeter today. Apparently. Yay google.

[ecbean]

we got their circular at my mom's house.
it's actually really cool looking, but i probably can't afford it.
and i think one of the reasons that designer places only have two or three of something on a rack is because it defeats the purpose for you to spend 200 dollars on something, and then see it all over teh damn place.

like, how many times have you seen other girls wearing your old navy sweater or a banana republic skirt? just imagine you spend more money on it because it's supposed to look high-end.

(That is, you're cheaping out but looking high-end) and then you show up whereever you are going, and there are four other girls wearing it.

Well... it probably won't stop me from shopping there. I'm just saying.

It's one of three or four vests we carry--most definitely the best example of the bunch. I think it also has some accessory studs on the front. Someone at old navy has been playing with their bedazzler.

[usestangerines]

I swear--i'll quit the moment they put a bunch of green jeans out on the floor. Or maybe not--i'll stay if they carry green jeans AND some maroon pirate-sleeved shirts.

[usestangerines]

The vests aren't even in clearance yet--they're still out in the front with our cute in-demand articles of clothing.

[cheesecantdial]

pirate shirts! THAT is a trend I would like to see come back. Throw a vest over a ruffle pirate shirt and you will be soooo County Seat.
