In Fashion or Not! Our Conversation


A group of us talked recently about clothes, why we can't find outfits that fit and are still professional and in fashion. In our 60's and 70's, we aren't finding much between the skimpy mini skirts/crop top lines and the very matronly styles. Thanks to all of the smart and sassy women taking part in our conversation!

With all of the baby boomers ready to look for nice, flattering clothes, we did acknowledge the value of the Chico's catalogue offerings. You can browse Chico's at http://www.chicos.com/.

With the advent of the sleeveless sheath worn by Michelle Obama, readers of MORE magazine asked where to find sheaths with sleeves( Thank you! Thank you!), noting that sleeves are better than 'arm spanx' (Yikes!) Editors gave some suggestions that we can access on the web:

Jones New york at http://www.bloomingdales.com/.
(MORE, April, 2009, 18).

With the demise of some of my favorite stores, I've gone to the web to search out and purchase many items, including clothes. Hopefully, these websites will let us search the possibilities and order online--or find items we like before the 2-hour trip to the stores listed above.

    Since I no longer need clothes for the "working world", I find that I need/want clothes that are casual and with some flair. SteinMart often fits the bill. If your in a city that has a SteinMart, check them out. They have cute shoes and accessories, too.

    Thanks, Coral. Our local SteinMart closed two years ago. But the website for SteinMart is http://www.steinmart.com.

    I see no online catalogue, but the home page gives information on current sales and also offers email connections.

    For those of us without a local SteinMart, the homepage will give the closest one if we enter our zipcodes.

    Thanks, Coral. Great suggestion!

    A good suggestion from one of our conversation group members:

    "My new favorite clothing source is Fair Indigo. They have well-made, fashionable clothes, jewelry and purses. The bonus is all products are made in certified fair trade facilities. www.fairindigo.com "

    I haven't heard about Fair Indigo. I'm going to check it out right now!

    Thanks.
