Mood indigo

Sure, my piles of Sevens, Joes, and Citizens threaten to bury me (and eventually suffocate me in a freak denim-related accident) every time I open the closet door. I'm willing to take that risk for a few new blues this season. I like to live on the edge.

Fellow fashionistas who, like moi, can't ever get enough straights and flares should probably head to Madewell's "Denim After Dark" event this Thursday at the Natick Mall, er, Collection. From 7- 9 p.m., there will be free style and fit consultations, snacks, and hemming (short gals rejoice!). And, bonus: All jeans will be $25 off. Call 508-653-0175 for more details.
