Tee Shirts: Simple Pleasures

My favorite casual style is to throw on a simple, V Neck Tee with a fitted jacket and jeans…. If I want to punch it up a bit, I will add a fun piece of jewelry or a great printed scarf.   Today, I decided to go out and find great Tee Shirt options for…

What’s Your Opinion?

What’s Your Opinion?

In the past year, I have been poked, prodded and probed….but not by a doctor.  Retailers seeking information on how to improve their products have inundated me with opinion surveys.  Now I actually respect those who are fighting to keep their businesses alive.  I respect the opinion survey and take it quite seriously.  What I…
