			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that we&#8217;ve shown you <strong><a title="Oh Crap, I Need Some Shorts" href="http://brokeandbeautiful.com/2012/oh-crap-i-need-some-cheap-shorts/">cheap shorts</a> in times of desperation</strong>, I have a short(s)-related-question for you&#8230;</p>
<p>There is much debate among the, well, <em>entire world</em> about the best length for shorts. Which shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone as it&#8217;s something we like to call a &#8220;personal preference,&#8221; but alas, some seem to be unable to grasp the concept.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m oh-so curious! What is <em><strong>your</strong></em> preferred length for shorts? Does it depend on the situation, event, fabric, etc.?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I felt okay when I woke up this morning.</p>
<p><em>Okay.</em> Just&#8230;<em>okay.</em></p>
<p>I prefer to feel awesome. Don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>Usually, when I awaken to a less than stellar self image<em></em>, my closet can correct the error: I have a &#8220;go-to&#8221; item of clothing that always makes me feel good, no matter what my body&#8217;s doing or how awkward or tired I feel. Right now that go-to garment is my <a href="http://www.awakenedaesthetic.com/2011/02/ethical-designer-profile-five-bamboo/" target="_blank">Five Bamboo Blueberry Dress</a> (which I wore in an outfit post, <a href="http://brokeandbeautiful.com/2011/spring-outfits-bright-colors-happy-coincidences/" target="_blank">here</a>). Before that it was a pair of Miz Mooz oxfords (<a href="http://brokeandbeautiful.com/2011/pre-spring-outfit-lace-cream-and-oxfords/" target="_blank">featured here</a> and <a href="http://brokeandbeautiful.com/2010/two-tone-oxfords-huh/" target="_blank">styled here</a>) and before <em>that</em>&#8230;okay, I don&#8217;t remember. Sorry, wardrobe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://brokeandbeautiful.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7241 aligncenter" title="Broke &amp; Beautiful - The Dress and Shoes in Question" src="http://brokeandbeautiful.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/1.jpg" alt="" width="702" height="480" /><br />
</a><em>The dress and shoes in question.</em></p>
<p>Today I paired my dress with an open short-sleeve cardigan, platform sandals and gigantic sunglasses. As I was walking from the bus stop to the office, I caught myself in a mirror &#8211; and instantly went from <em>okay</em> to <em>awesome.</em></p>
<p>So now I&#8217;m curious: what makes your fashion-loving heart skip a beat? Please let me know by taking the poll below, and if you&#8217;re really enamored, leave a comment telling me more about your go-to garment!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are playing with some projects for the future, Jen and I. They&#8217;re pretty secret. Really secret, actually.</p>
<p>But, we&#8217;re having a disagreement. About video.</p>
<p>Jen says that when she sees a video in a blog post, she typically scans right past it. Doesn&#8217;t stop to watch, just bypasses. I, on the other hand (hi, I&#8217;m Lindsay), watch almost any video <strong>AS LONG AS&#8230;</strong> it is under 5:00. Longer than that and I get commitment-phobic. Yes, we all wish that were a joke.</p>
<p>So what about you? Whose team has more cheerleaders?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we get ever-closer to Broke &amp; Beautiful&#8217;s <strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">third</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">fourth</span> third birthday</strong> (wow, I know, I can barely keep track), I figure it&#8217;s a perfect time to get some feedback from you guys on what you&#8217;re seeing here.</p>
<p>This year has been pretty big! We added Jennifer Nicole to the list of authors, and united with The Demoiselles and Awakened Aesthetic. I&#8217;ve moved across the country (again) to find a permanent home in Seattle. If there&#8217;s a better time for a potential revamp, I&#8217;d love to see it!</p>
<p>Please take a couple seconds to take our poll.</p>
<blockquote>Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.</blockquote>
<p>If there&#8217;s something missing from that list, please mention it in the comments!</p>
<p>Thanks for three awesome years &#8211; and hopefully many to come!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2667" title="sockswedges" src="http://brokeandbeautiful.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sockswedges.jpg" alt="sockswedges" width="89" height="234" />So Jen and I were having a conversation today. It lasted about four minutes, but the main discussion point was:</p>
<p><strong>Are skinny jeans/pants and wedges at war? Are they supposed to be together, or do they look weird?</strong></p>
<p>In my experience &#8211; they look weird. Almost always. The wedge just makes your legs look like 4&#8243;x4&#8243; posts with some toes on the bottom (if they&#8217;re open toe wedges, of course).</p>
<p>But then, Jen said she bought a pair of <em>low</em> wedges (almost flat) that looked okay with her John Varavatos skinnies&#8230; So now I feel like I might be missing out on something great.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your experience?</strong></p>
<p>(PS &#8211; Do you love my collage lady with gigantic feet?)</p>
