Holy Mackerel! If Isobel Toledo is an example of things to come, I give up!

What was wrong with Isabel Toledo? she was wearing what looked like a classy eyelet suit… she’s in the same photo essay as the lady in the red, while and blue latex and you’re worried about her style? Take a look at some of her designs someday, she is amazingly talented and puts out very elegant and sophisticated designs, I think you’ll like what you’ll find.

Dora,
If the above picture of Isobel Toledo is your idea of elegant and sophisticated, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. No, I’ll stick to Chanel, Oscar de la Renta and Ralph Lauren. If you want to look like a red, white and blue tire, good luck…

Thanks, Frank. Rule: Never wear short skirt lengths after a certain age, especially if you have big knee caps! And, most of all if it’s latex. I mean, howthehell does she sit in a chair??

Reminds me of that line in the movie, Four Weddings and a Funeral - “They say rubber’s mainly for perverts. Don’t know why. Think it’s very practical, actually. I mean, you spill anything on it and it just comes off. I suppose that could be why the perverts like it.”

I have my own rules: 1. Always keep them guessing. Do not reveal so much that they don’t want to discover more.
2. Watch the heavy makeup and sticky lip gloss. Scares the hell out of men.
3. Dress with elegance and class. One does not have to spend a fortune to do it.
4. Do not wear the whole jewelry box. One piece of something lovely is enough.
5. If you can’t walk in heels, don’t wear them
6. You wear the clothes. Don’t let them wear you.
7. Wear underwear that is feminine, but does not make lines. And older women with thongs? Yuck!
8. Understated elegance with a promise of Things to Come. I learned that when I saw Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant. You all remember the sky blue gown and cool Grace giving Cary a passionate kiss at her hotel door, and then shutting it on him?

Grace and that dress oh yeah!

Well, Frank, I think it’s a helluvalot more appealing than the garbage most of the women in the pix above are wearing. I don’t see anything sexy or sensual about them.
Do you remember Grace Kelly’s wardrobe in Rear Window or High Society? At that time, I was at an age that was deeply influenced by those fashions. And, I still am.

I agree whole-heartedly, Diana—sexy? sensual? those clothes are near ugly—and yes I remember Grace’s wardrobe in most movies—how could one not remember. You have exemplary taste, Diana—exemplary. ;-)

And promise of things to come—oh my yes—hums: Anticipation :-)

Diana,

This is “spot on” advice. I can see you are more than a “goddess of the garden” …. and isn’t that funny that you are master gardener on account this advice will help us all blossom naturally.

Thank you, Blue. That is such a nice thing to say. I just have always depended on a very classic look. Classic=classy.
