I don't get why Gretchen ended up in 2nd place. I wanted the judges to ask the model to take off the jacket so we could also see just what the heck that blouse was (because it certainly didn't go with the outfit). And the skirt -- chevrons or not -- was still just tinsel wrapped around a body. I liked her jacket, but that was about it. I thought some of the other designers, like Christopher, had better overall looks.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading your post. It's fun to re-hash these episodes with someone! I look forward to reading your take on next week...
