Today's CPI report might not be the best reflection of the current economy, given world events, but it does include an Easter egg of sorts.

In February, the price of eggs was down more than 40 percent what it was in February of last year, as shortages caused by America's longest ever running avian flu outbreak stabilized.

But that relief in the egg aisle has been offset by rising prices in the meat aisle.

Today marked the last day of Paris Fashion Week.

It was the final and most anticipated event of what the industry calls Fashion Month, highlighting the latest trends in apparel.

And while styles change from season to season and then come back...

One thing that hasn't really evolved with the times is how the industry does sizing, specifically when it comes to women's clothing.

Amanda Sakuma wrote about the chaos that is women's sizing for the visual essay news site The Pudding the other day.

Amanda, great to talk with you.

Hi, thanks for having me.

So what did you find when it comes to how women's sizing works in American clothing?

One of the things that was interesting to me looking at your piece was that you really lay out how well sizes fit the average woman changes over the age of a woman.
