Old Navy Did The Right Thing

August 27, 2021August 26, 2021Leave a comment

I'm giving myself a pat on the back for this one. I've been campaigning for this via customer surveys since 2013 or so. I was finally invited to be a member of the Gap Inc.

Conscious Consumerism

July 25, 2020Leave a comment

The new normal foisted upon us by the coronavirus pandemic has fully exposed every fault line in American society. The retail apocalypse is here and the empty Sears at my local mall proves it. Of course, the carrion crow that is Amazon continues to feed off the leftovers. Three years ago, I wrote glowingly about … Continue reading Conscious Consumerism

For the past few years, the media has been chronicling the fall of the in-store shopping experience. It never really resonated with me. Aside from everyday needs like groceries and toilet paper, I do a lot of shopping online, usually because what I need either can't be found in the store, or are significantly more … Continue reading Can’t Shop, Won’t Shop

Dear Eloquii

March 3, 2013February 3, 201620 Comments

  ****Hey guys, today I'm using the blog to write an open letter to one of my favorite online retailers who will be closing their doors. Plus sized shoppers are an under-served, largely ignored demographic, and instead of just complaining I'm doing my part to let the fashion world know that we're here and we … Continue reading Dear Eloquii
