Fashionable, Appropriate, Clothing and Accessories:
6 Excellent Sites
There's a never-worn St. John knit hanging in my closet. Normally a very pricey label, it was so inexpensive (a "buy" you can find in NY). I couldn't resist getting it for my mother years ago--her size, her color, two piece. But she never wore it. Why? At age 83, she tactfully told me that she didn't wear short sleeves because of flabby arms. Who knew?
Something to think about when selecting clothing: older women's particular wants and needs, as well as challenges. Can can they button and unbutton easily? What about hooks and eyes? clasps to necklaces? things that zip, button in back etc. etc. Do they want to downplay/hide certain parts of their body?
Senior advisor R, 99, uses catalogs...and always looks well-put-together. Check out her favorite catalogs and their URLs. If you want to entertain your mother, while getting an idea of what she likes, check them out together. (In counseling we call the latter "a hidden agenda.")
