I agree with Laura. Why all the bashing of Bitten. The line is so affordable how can you not like it. It allows you to look cute on a budget. Too bad the Bitten Clothing line is not available online yet. For now you can find some items on this site or on eBay: http://www.bitten-clothing.info

I love both lines! Checked both of them out last weekend – found some fab button-down shirts for work and some great basics from Bitten (wow – the prices!), then headed over to Kohl’s for Simply Vera. The last three coats literally sold in the half hour I was there. Love the brie boots and gray trousers, as well as the coat – I got the last one!

I thought the quality was surprisingly good, but what do I know? I have a Ralph Lauren black label button-down that seems much lower quality than the Bitten ones I purchased. My two cents.
P.S. Can’t wait to check out Alice Temperley at Target!

Have to agree with the previous post by Laura. Comparing Simply Vera with Bitten is comparing the proverbial apples and oranges. It was just an opportunity to bash Bitten once more.

And no, I don’t work for Steve & Barry’s.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from writing this blog is that people will read what they want to read, not necessarily what is written. There’s a HUGE difference between offering a review of a line versus “bashing” a line. I continue to find it very interesting how we can no longer have a discussion among people with different views, in this country. To criticize (to give a fair, personal view) isn’t the same as bashing (to unfairly criticize something).

I have a right to my opinion. I totally respect the opinions of others (hence the publishing of comments that do not agree me, most bloggers just edited them out), in fact, I appreciate when we can have a discussion.

In fact, I’m a frequent steve & barry shopper and many of the pieces in the bitten line aren’t that different from the pieces they sold before. I give the line high marks for price and sizing- but the quality, the display of the clothing, etc isn’t much better than Forever 21 and a little below Old Navy.
