This popped in my feed, wacky pantyhose commercials from the 80's. I have to enjoy it for the wackiness of it but it also shows how much media presses body image on women. The amount of glamour expected from a pantyhose is just too much.

You're a sweetheart, thanks Diane!
Celia - I just checked out the last video and will watch the other ones when I have a bit more time, but I'm already nodding along with everything you wrote.

I found this article about the "Makeup Tax" interesting. The author argues that women have to spend more time and money on their appearance in order to compete with men. Women who wear cosmetics are
not only found to be more attractive, but research showed it also
impacted their relationships and paychecks. This, however, comes at a steep cost, as a woman spends an average of $15,000 on cosmetics in her lifetime

Here's another article I just read: "The absurdity of women’s clothing sizes, in one chart"

So I've been trying to mention on the forum about the resurgence of ballet flats. Here's another article about the current iteration.

Very interesting article about the cosmetics, Banoffi, and thanks for the second one too!

Anna, thanks very much! Do you perhaps have a link on the same topic but to a different site than Refinery29? We and several forum members experienced some trouble with malware while visiting the site last week, and we think it's safer not to link to them for a while. http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....k-behavior Here's a bit more info on that.

I was going to suggest the Washington Post link on sizing, but Banoffi beat me to it. The charts are a bit confusing, but I guess it means the size 12 I have worked to achieve was actually a size 20 back in the 1970s. Sad face.

I'd forgotten about that bug Inge. Guess they didn't fix it yet.
Couldn't find another current article on ballet flat.
I did like these inspiration pictures on how to style the preppy classic polo shirt.

I especially like some recent outfits on "the Sartorialist", especially the floral tee pattern mixing on July 29 and the white outfit in Milan on July 27.
You will need to scroll down on the linkpage to the 3rd and 6th outfits.

Thanks so much for taking the time to find us another link, Anna, I really appreciate it!
Ooh those are both lovely, Joy!
Always fab to "see" you, Caro. We used that link 3 weeks ago (but it IS a goodie!):

Thanks so much everyone for all your brilliant links. I'm closing the thread a little earlier this week, but will be back on Monday for another round;-)
