What do you wear when you fear looking like mutton dressed as lamb? And when does mutton-hood start: 40? 45? 50+? Cathy Horyn writes about this dilemma in today’s NYTimes Style section. Older, Better, but Harder to Dress indeed. I stilck to a uniform of sorts: lots of tees, cardigans, and cute skirts or jeans. Very serviceable, but not on trend, unless the trend is tees and cardigans. :) Incorporating this look (#3) would be fun, but I fear that the camisole would give off that “is she pregnant?” look that is not desirable. I fantasize that it would be easier if I lived in New York, LA, or even Boston, where the shopping options are better. Case in point: I wanted this Miu Miu skirt badly this spring (an on-trend addition to the uniform). Net-a-Porter was sold out, so I phoned the Miu Miu boutiques in New York and LA. New York couldn’t help me, and oddly, the LA store never answered the phone during business hours. (After hours, it was no problem to reach voice mail.) Guess the uniform will remain, and keep my eye out for fun accessories!
