Upon arriving home, I discovered my new jeggings suffer from the same ailment as many of today’s pants and jeans: Over-emphasis of the dreaded unnamed body part. It think it has to do with the low-rise trend. Back in the day (how...

I’m sitting here looking at my new purple purse. Yes, purple. I’ve wanted one for months, along with a pair of purple boots. I haven’t found the boots yet, but I’m satisfying my current craving for purple a little at a time. (I’ve worn off the silver coating on my laptop.)
