I have every right to voice my opinion as well as anyone else. Years ago, (ten plus years or more) I bought many clothing items on here. That was when they had in house designers like Jessica Holbrooke, and my favorite Koos of Kourse. He stepped outside of the box and offered clothing that had a little something to it, such as reversible jackets. Another favorite was Indigo Moon...beautiful jackets with flair, and many fabrics with almost a quilting effect to them, that garnered compliments anytime I wore one. Now.... not so much. Again, everything is just run of the mill. Yesterday the Q offered 47 items of clothing, and only 6 were in a print. So I stand by my statement. If a shirt, or top is in a solid, I would like a ruffle down the placket of buttons, a crossover opening, a lace yoke, jewel buttons down the front, lace cuffs, a tie that can be tied into a bow at the neck, just something if is a solid. Other stores offer this. As for why I posted this...why do others complain about shipping, their marriage, their kids, their medical problems, their tv shows going off air, their pets having fleas? At least I wrote about the Q, and maybe they will return to the way they were and offer more variety.

Common sense should tell you that ANY shopping channel wants to offer a wide variety, BUT also wants to avoid anything that could result in massive returns. This will probably mean them offerring more "classics". "Fads" must be returned a lot more often than classics, IMO. From my personal experience, most women want to do their own accessorizing, according to their personal taste. That means starting with a basic well made garment that isn't too "busy" to add accessories to.
As for prints .... they are quite tricky, at best. Ever see a woman wearing a print that is all wrong for her, for any number of reasons? Even a tall thin woman can't wear every print that comes along ... many overwhelm the wearer because not all prints are created equal.
My mother was a fashion model before she married, and would occasionally point out a very bad outfit saying "That woman isn't wearing that print ... that print is wearing her". It's not enough to "like" a print .... it should also be flattering.
Outfits you described above are just YOUR personal taste .... Personally, I would never buy something online that had ruffles, bow ties or lace. Ugh.
