Chicos and JJill are not really great for my body type (petite) or personal style (tailored, moderately trendy and conservative). Dress Barn just isn't me. Here's the problem -- every middle aged woman in my office shops in the stores you mentioned too!<br /><br />JocelynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-43669592964518422382010-07-26T19:13:53.249-04:002010-07-26T19:13:53.249-04:00I think that's complete and utter hogwash. Th...I think that's complete and utter hogwash. There are plenty of stores that cater to mature women. Talbots, Coldwater Creek, Chicos, J. Jill and Dress Barn are some where you can find clothes that fit. The other thing is, if you have a weird body type consider tailoring. I honestly don't know what 40 something or so women are going on about that there are no clothes for them. Ridiculous. <br /><br />Buy a fashion book like How Not to Look Old or look at websites that talk about how to dress after 40. I am 46 and I don't wear teen clothes. I shop at Target, Macys, Coldwater Creek. I am a size 8 with an hour glass shape and find plenty of things that fit and are age appropriate. I like classic styles pencil skirts, cardigans, white blouses, boot cut and trouser jeans. I also love pretty dresses with leggings, flats, platforms and boots. There are clothes for you. Know your body shape and what silhouettes look best. Don't go too girly, loud, low cut or tight and you'll be fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-12091160259439906672010-04-05T20:44:28.482-04:002010-04-05T20:44:28.482-04:00The other thing I find is that men's clothes s...The other thing I find is that men's clothes sometimes fit better. I hate having to try to squeeze into uncomfortable clothes or shoes. A pair of Levis is always a good cozy choice for me!Martini Cartwheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906053155319523438noreply@blogger.com
