And we care because...why?

Normally, we don't write all that much about the business and financial side of fashion and retail here at Styledash, but hearing news about American Eagle's slightly disappointing earnings forecasts prompts me to sound off.

Ok, so I am being a little mean. I don't actually hate American Eagle for being American Eagle, and though I don't a single thing from the brand, my sister (who is an uber LA fashionista) says that some of their basics like leggings and t-shirts are good staples for the closet. I am just sort of tired of that look that was started by Abercrombie & Fitch. I'm not even sure how to describe the look other than "The A&F Look." I suppose it's something like the late high school, early college, East coast prepster goes to California with a J. Crew catalog. Like I said, it's not that the look is all that bad, but it's just so...everywhere. How many frayed denim skirts that barely skim the top of the thighs with three layered tank tops can we take?

Ok, I'm done now.
