Gap Attack!

Weirdly, I'm not really feeling the "European collection" at Gap. Who, exactly, are "oversized" denim shorts going to look good on? I did find plenty of pretty pieces in the regular, um, "collection," though.







This really caught my eye in the store: the back-tab mac jacket, $69.50. But what color? The brights are all so fun and fresh, but the taupe would be more classic and practical. And maybe this is the best way to wear a (usually boring, in my opinion) beige trenchcoat?

The rest of my picks are all about dresses.



Chambray puff-sleeve dress, $54.50.



Pleated tie-waist dress, $59.50.



Pleated pocket dress, $59.50. It also comes in black and navy, both of which are tempting, too.



Supersoft jersey dress, on sale for $39.99 and also in black. Sooooo comfy-looking.

This is not a dress, but so necessary: Even though I have technically cooler hoodies fighting for shelf space in my closet, when I'm on my way to the gym I always reach for my light-blue Gap terrycloth one. Not sure why, it's just sort of perfect. And so I'm thinking I might go in for this — again with the hot pink!



Clean zip-up hoodie, $39.50.

Finally, a question: Have any of you guys ever taken an ibuprofen or something like that for pain caused by footwear? I just did—a rarely worn boot is squeezing my left foot like a boa constrictor. But just my left one. WTF? The pill has not helped. Boo.
