Why am I sharing this when I made none of it?
Because at some point on that day I clicked on my Facebook memories, and came across a rant from several years ago that was a reaction to an article I'd read online on 'How not to dress like an old person'. I don't think that was the title, but that was the gist of the article.
One of the things that the article claimed makes one look old is 'never wearing white pants in the winter'.
Well, on Monday, I just so happened to wear white pants so I snapped a pic to prove that I surely do not look old, lol.
Seriously...and this was the point of my rant...why would 'never' doing something fashion wise make me look old? Two days later I wore doubleknit pants with a striped t-shirt and a knit cardigan (all made by moi, btw)....did my white pants on Monday negate the fuddiduddiness of the home sewn knits?
Now, there are some things that I agree will make me look less than my best...wearing clothes that don't fit, or that are faded, pilled or otherwise worn looking, or reveal the bumps and bulges a little too literally...but to say that 'never' doing something will result in me looking better or worse on any given day is just a little far fetched.
I wore the white pants because it made me happy. Also because, well, laundry, lol.
Which I need to hasten off to begin. Planning to start construction on the planned wardrobe this weekend...crossing my fingers it happens!
You look very sharp in your never duds. I have been tempted lately to pull out some white jeans. I have been blaming it on craving spring. You have inspired me and I'm going for it. I think I will do the dark top too! I guess we are both fuddy duddies yearning to be free.
ReplyDeleteI had to have the black top and boots...with a white shirt and pants, I kinda felt like I should be showing dairy cattle at the 4-H fair, lol.... There really isn't any compelling reason for me not to wear white year 'round in the South...it's not like I need to worry about splashing salty slush on my white pants... ;-)
