I’ve been looking for a newer, more quality watch. I would need it to be silver-tone and have all the numbers on it (the numbers part is where I’m having trouble, but I need to be able to tell time quickly). I also would love something sustainable and a bit quirky. My current one is silver rectangular with crystals around the face and multi-colored numbers.
As someone seeking a decent mother-of-the bride dress for a formal wedding, I’d like to see what you can scare up in terms of long dresses that don’t make the wearers look like they are trying to pass for 18 again, or else resigned to complete frumpiness. And black is not an option for me – so many are only available in black.
Congratulations on the wedding! Talbots used to have a special occasion line that had some great mother of the bride options. It doesn’t exist any more, but there are lots of those dresses on eBay if you search. Hope that helps. Good luck!
I’m looking for flat or very low-heeled, knee-high boots for wide calves that also come in wide-width shoe sizes. In particular, I’m interested in black, brown (cognac), and/or gray. (Honestly, any options, on sale or not would be great!)
I’d love to see purses that convert between backpack and some other type. And I’d also like to ask a favor when you’re doing clothing. Please don’t forget those of us under size 6. I know it’s more work, but it kills me when you feature a cute dress or pair of pants and the smallest size is 6!
Thanks for the nudge! I do my best to include as many sizes as I possibly can at all times, which I hope is clear. But sometimes a product is perfect for the reader request and just not available in a full size run. Keep in mind, too, that sizes may sell out between the time a post goes live and the time you click through!
I would love to see something on super-wide belts for plus sizes, in navy or other colors (not black, beige, or white). I’m in the market for one that will adjust the waistline for a dress I got whose reality did not match the picture on the website in terms of where the waistline hits.

Sally, I’d love to see hats for big heads! “One size fits all” is too small for me.
Me too! I hate being restricted to hats with ‘give’ like beanies and baseball caps. I would love a big floppy straw hat for summer…
Huge thanks for these suggestions, gals! And always feel free to email me if you have others.
