No, 'tis okay. I'm so glad that the returns thing worked out for you (I hope someone was as happy when I had to return my tickets to an Andreas Scholl concert a few years back.
I quite like Trinny and Susannah, to be honest. But then, as a rather junior lawyer, I *have* to fit the accepted "image" required of junior lawyers. I can see the problem if someone is being told that they're a "bad woman" for dressing in sweat pants when they're chasing around after kids all day, or that they feel that they have to dress up to keep their husband. But a lot of what they say about styles and flattering cuts and things applies across the board, and I've found it very helpful. And as I say: a law firm is not the place to challenge dress codes (or not until you are secure in your job and know that you have backing from others... when Soccer!Hippie was still here, she, not!Ainsley and I (and eventually BigSis) were pushing the dress code *every* Friday, not just last Friday of the month. When I go to my new place, you'd better believe I'll be toeing the line, heels and all. Possibly even make-up (*shudder*).
