Welcome to the jungle OR My fear of (becoming one of those) cougars

Today marks the first day back to school for many students. While I’m no longer getting a formal education or sending a mini-me off to do the same, this time of year usually gets me in the mood for one thing (well, besides wanting to lecture people on carpooling)…that’s shopping.

What not to wear

[Welcome to another edition of East Coast Guest Posts. This week while I'm eyeball deep in work, some local bloggers will be talking about what I'm calling The 902 Style Files.

Bluefly
