It’s back to work for many Americans this week after a long vacation and I’m quite sure, like me, many of you stood in the doorway of your closet asking yourself the age old question, “What am I going to wear today?” My closet is full to overflowing with clothes. Some are too small, some are too big, some are uncomfortable and not practical for work, and then there are the five outfits that I manage to wear every week. I have decided that when designers get to work, they do not have the short, average, middle age, round, mom body in mind. That is why I am bound and determined to make 2017 the year granny fashion comes back in style for those of all ages. I’m not talking about these newfangled grandmas who dress better than I ever hope to. No, I’m talking about the good old fashion shampoo and set grandma. Just hear me out and I know that you will agree.
Shoes
Just look at these! The SAS is the most sensible shoe ever made. It’s three most popular colors-white, black, and classy nude- will have you ready to go no matter what you are wearing. The sassy wedge in the back can take you from the office to the clubs with ease. Soft, supportive in soles make you feel like you are walking on air. Throw on a pair of knee high stockings and you are set no matter the occasion. No more worrying about time consuming pedicures, your unpainted piggies will be safely hidden.
Pants
Never has there been such a practical invention as the no iron twill elastic pant. They come in three great lengths-Long, capri, and resort. If you are headed into work, black, grey, and taupe are available. For weekends when you want to let lose, you may want to go with the soft denim, or the wide array of pastel colors available in all three lengths. Think of all the time and money you will save not running to the dry cleaners. Just wash them and hang them out back to dry and you’re set to go. Eat too much over the weekend? No worries, the sturdy elastic expands an extra four inches! Another plus? You don’t have to shave above your knees ever again.
Shirts
Let your true fashion sense show by mixing and matching floral blouses. Button that baby up, or let it all hang lose by layering over a white t-shirt. The sturdy cotton blend never needs ironing. Just think of all the combinations you can make by investing in several of these beauties. Take the blouse in the picture for example. You could pair it with white capris one day and then totally fool those at work by wearing with lovely khaki full length pants the following day! No one will know! These also fall into the wash and go category so once again, you are saving time and money.
This to me is a no-brainer! Affordable and comfortable should be the new stilettos and camis. Who cares if you look 20 years older or are repeatedly mistaken for Ethyl down in payroll. Never again will you have to squeeze into those skinny jeans or worry about working out those triceps. So who is with me? All those in favor, meet me at Sears on Thursday. I hear they will take off an extra 20% for early birds. Maybe then we can go grab a bite at the picadilly cafeteria.
