Oh my god!
I just sat reading this, laughing out loud in my cube so loudly I'm sure they are going to commit me. Ladies, you must read this:

Oh my, they're going to commit me too. I was braying like a donkey in my office. Thank God I have a door!

Funny, the writer's fashion commentary immediately made me think of our dear friend raqs. BTW, if more wit and snark from the fashion author appeals to you, you can find her over on www.televisionwithoutpity.com (as Sars).

What kept going through my mind when I read this was, "You seem like a smart chick. So why are you even trying to buy a skort? Do you golf? Because if you don't golf, either wear shorts and be casual or wear a skirt and be femme. But don't attempt to buy some weird hybrid."

And why is everyone so scared of color?

I also don't much get the pockets thing, but that's because I actually *like* carrying a bag. The book, two notebooks and 5 lipsticks that I routinely carry won't fit into any pockets I've ever encountered, except perhaps into those on a duster. And once you've got the bag, you can also add the Palm and keyboard, the pain-killer, the snack, the drink, the sunscreen and all those other necessities of life. (Which people who rely on pockets then ask you for.)

I carry a bag, and would be hard pressed to do without it. That said, the bag is great for things I might want at any number of stops during the day. Pockets are great for when I'm travelling between those stops. Part of it might be that I use a back-pack type bag, often, which is more comfortable with all the stuff I carry walking about the city, and using public transit. I like to keep a T token in pocket, along with the keys for my house, so I don't have to take off the pack and fish for them until I'm inside or past the turnstiles. That said, I wore a dress without pockets, yesterday, while doing errands and using trains and buses, and it wasn't all that traumatic.
