Dear Loft, You Suck

April 16, 2021April 15, 2021Leave a comment

A couple weeks ago, I found out that Ann Taylor Loft is phasing out its plus sized clothing at the end of this year. When they first launched, I bought a lot of work separates--they had the best quality slacks in the game and I gave them rave reviews in my 2019 post about the … Continue reading Dear Loft, You Suck

On April 15, 2019, I lost my maternal grandmother, Nonny. She was suffering from dementia that had progressed into Alzheimer's and I knew her time was coming soon, but it still caught me off … Continue reading Life update

Bits and bobs

No more stretchy pants!: I have mentioned before that I've been working on my fitness and some of my pants that had gotten tight around the middle are fitting better. I'm going to keep the winter weight at bay by pledging to wear fitted pants in the colder months. I love me some leggings (and … Continue reading Bits and bobs
