What's next? J. Crew spa robes?
You know I love me some J. Crew (on sale, that is), but their new yoga line crosses the line for me. They've invaded every other area of luxury living: Cashmere sweaters for Rover? Check. Sequined mini dresses for toddlers? Check. Khakis covered with embroidered anchors, presumably for yachting? Check. I guess it was only a matter of time before the preppy polos giant introduced yoga-specific digs.
The soft, stretchy pants, sweatshirts, and camisoles with built-in bras look comfy enough. And the yellow-and-white striped yoga bag has functional straps on its side for securing your mat. They even have a cute label of an actual downward dog where the tags should be. But — reality check — since when is it O.K. to sell "yoga headbands" for $14.95? I, for one, will not give in. I will happily score the same style headbands at Target for $8.
[This isn't a headband. It's an investment.]
Boy, I'm grumpy today. I need to read some Fug Girls and snap out of it. Or maybe do a few sun salutations.
