Bridgette Raes' mention of anticipatory anxiety in her post on Why We Don’t Change, Even When We Want To explains why a person might be reluctant to change their hairstyle or upgrade their wardrobe, even if they want to. (It follows from this that changes get easier with practice as one learns that the pre-change anxiety is worse than the change.) This quote is inspirational: "it’s a heck of a lot easier to deal with the fall out of that change
than living with the paralysis of over-thinking it and not doing
anything it about it".

When I was reading this blog entry about Field Jackets http://amidprivilege.com/2013/.....iece-fall/ by Lisa at Amid Privilege, I was caught by the following quote:

"Fashion at 50+ requires a fairly strong sense of self, and a good visual imagination, to get rid of cues meant for other demographics."

As the old saying goes "the devil is in the details". The blog post "Call me Picky" http://susiesoso.blogspot.com/.....picky.html by Sue of Susie So So was quite entertaining and enlightening. Her comments on stripes and complimentary stitching had me checking my striped tops to make sure they matched.

I was looking for styling ideas for my mom's taffeta Dior New Look skirt and I stumbled upon this. The slide shows on the page, especially the year by year review in the middle, are great. It also demonstrated how dated prints and patterns can become.
