So much of the success of this endeavor depends on keeping oneself out of harm's way. No more Fashion Week blogs. No more Design*Sponge. No mightygoods, no J.Crew catalog, no W Mag. Nothing to shatter the carefully curated illusion that I'm not missing anything.

As medieval-style tortures go, I suppose it could have been worse. I could've been pilloried and had the half-price stilettos chucked at my head.

Pretty much the same reason as everybody else. I like this earth thing we're spinning around on. And baby animals. And the study of genealogy.
I've spent the last couple of years trying to reduce the number of planets that show up at the end of my ecological footprint quiz. But I like designer jeans. A lot.
