You know, the kind of place where people wear their "good jeans" to a wedding. The red shirt reminds me of midwest college towns on the weekend.

I've found several of my "go to" pieces there, like a short sleeved black jacket that always gets compliments. I just don't style the clothing like they do - how you wear something is as important as what it is. But yes, one must shop there with a critical eye to quality and cut, and be ready to say "no" a lot after looking in the mirror. But then again, I shop like that everywhere.

I agree that Torrid has some great things, and some horrible things. I have that black poplin cut out skirt, and quite enjoy it. It is a tad shorter a tad straighter than I normally wear, but it works. Most recently I wore it with a solid black top & blazer, black knee-high boots, red tights (which just peaked out from in between skirt and boot) and a red statement necklace. I think it worked pretty well, and is the only way I have ever thought of to wear those red tights to work. I’m 25 and work in an office setting, so wear professional clothes most of the time.

I don't like the cut or quality of most of their clothes. Plus, I really don't see much that's for day to day wear. It's mostly for weekend or party wear...very casual. I've been more impressed with the Forever 21 line (Faith 21). Torrid is so hit or miss for me. I don’t like the cut or quality of most of their clothes.
