How wonderful to say "another day".
However this is not about me today. Let's talk about trends. Fashion trends seem to go in shorter and shorter cycles but the repeats are almost non-existent but seem to stay. Things like animal prints just seem to STAY. Boring. And shiny glitz in bags and shoes have had their day, in my eyes, for way too long. And those clog like shoes were never a good idea.
I like streamlined and I like classics. Think Grace Kelly. I like modesty. For the past year the soap operas have been wearing sleeveless shoulders but with the sleeves intact (how to describe?), slanted collars, backless dresses and other raunchy stuff. Do ladies really want to wear stuff like that? Does it even look good? And who wears that sort of clothes to work? Oh right, we are talking Hollywood jobs. And yet it translates into stores anyway.
I remember when hot pants first came out (and that was even before pantyhose was available)! Women have gone through tons of changes but one thing I am all for - that women are allowed to wear pants at work! I remember getting sent home from school in Grade 6 because Mom sent my sister and I to school with pants (no skirt on top) and I went into a tug-of-war as she sent me right back to school and the teacher called me "George" for the rest of the day. It was -25 outside and Mom said "no way are you going out in a dress/skirt" This is too cold. That would have been around 1964-65.
Pants, slacks, jeans - whatever the term - those are my go-to's!
