A Year to Change: Conversations with women on choice, connections, and clarity in midlife

“Who wears short shorts?” Remember that pop song?

I know that I don’t wear them anymore. And except during rare and fleeting periods in my life, I couldn’t/shouldn’t/wouldn’t have worn them. And I don’t think that I’ll be wearing them anymore because they just don’t seem right; they make me feel inappropriately exposed.

Is this an mid-life modesty that I eschewed in other decades? Or is it an acceptance that short shorts are wrong for my body-type? Has my self-perception changed so that there are now some clothes that are simply “too young” for me?

I stumbled across this “everywoman” quote while I was reading Page Six online this morning (ok…that’s one of my dirty little secrets:  I read Page Six online and am verily addicted to it.  But I do NOT touch the tabloids in the grocery store checkout lines!)

“I’m like every other woman. I don’t want my underwear to make me feel fat” - Stella McCartney in Vogue . . . ”

Think about it.  Does your underwear make you feel fat?  What does that mean?  What kind of underwear could that be, other than ill-fitting underwear or a thong?  Do men have this problem?

Kerch has a real “thing” for purses. I have recently come to the conclusion that being “current” each season is an itch that I can scratch by simply buying a new bag in the “it” style. After all, everything goes with black pantsuits, right?
And you? How many purses do you own? And why? Point and click and read on here.
