This morning, I'm wearing a dark purple silk shell with black velvet slacks; they're real women slacks with a zipper on the side. I have a black cotton cardigan on top of the purple shell that has one button at the top.
Then, I felt like I needed some color, so I put on a pair of red shoes.
The silk of the shell feels good against my skin and it comes down a little longer than the sweater, breaking up the solid black.
Yet, I'm certain that Clinton and Stacy on What Not to Wear would tell me that I'm off base.
This feeling about wardrobe uncertainties comes on the heels of me swearing last week that once my kids are finished with college, I fully intend to buy some new clothes. Of course, that's five years away, so maybe I better embrace the feeling of looking good, even if I wouldn't win accolades on What Not to Wear.

wear what your comfortable in
You are too funny. The topic is way too big to tackle even in my own mind ... I currently just ignore what I'm wearing ... which I'm sure would more than qualify me for the show.
I always feel pretty good about what I'm wearing until I'm with other women then I feel underdressed, sort of sloppy, but, on the other hand, I'm comfortable.
what-- no picture?
