Shopping for anybody over 50 is like digging through the pile of manure believing that there is a pony in there somewhere. At any given upscale store like Neiman Marcus or Saks or their websites, if you scan down the options, you immediately realize that 98% of dresses or either sleeveless or one-shouldered. You also note that there are very few pants that have a waist that doesn’t start 4” below your naval. It is disheartening and maddening to even try to find something that is current without looking like you are a wannabee for your childrens’ fashion. I wear a size 8 or 10 and the only options are size L or XL. That is so ridiculous it doesn’t bear comment. Since the average American woman wears 144 pounds, where are the clothes? The stupid thing is the usually the women who can afford nice clothes are old enough to have been in careers and jobs and yet the styles are geared toward women who are not old enough to purchase for themselves. It is maddening.
