Finally is right!! I click on these articles to see the ridiculous photos but this woman has style. She gets an A+ from me.

Agreed. For a long time, I just looked at this column for the laughs and to see what not to wear. However, this lady is well dressed and has some style. Nice to see a person who is actually stylish for a change.

Do you mean the original reporter, Caitlin? She moved to New York City, I believe.

You know how I celebrate my beauty? Not worrying about dressing up every single time I leave the house. I get tired of hearing the same comment from those scouted, less sweatshirts and leggings. I'm sorry I don't dress myself to impress for every outing I make. It's cool that you're out and about and look stylish doing so, but worry about yourself. What I would like to see less of in Lawrence, people telling other people how to dress. Do whatever you want.
