A rare blog post on personal stuff
Ladies--
Have you ever woken up one day and had an "aha" moment like I did this morning? Maybe it is more of an "uh oh" moment. A moment when it becomes clear that one is in the midst of a tectonic shift, wardrobe-wise. A wardrobe shift that is indicative of broader psychosocial change. A change that may not be good. You may notice the following Habits of Concern:
-The frequent carrying of canvas tote bags with the logos of charitable organizations
-The wearing of "fun" glass bead necklaces in a professional context. The wearing of pearls in a non-professional context.
-One word: flats. (maybe that's just something about this season, though)
-Three words: Ann. F'ing. Taylor.
-Borrowing your mother's clothes when you visit, not out of necessity, but because you think some of her stuff is pretty cute (!!!!)
-Less tanning, more floppy brimmed hats and sunscreen
-No more funky star- and flower-shaped barrettes
I'll let you know when I start wearing seasonally-themed sweaters. Thanks. Carry on.

Wait until you start collecting the same sweater set in different colors, that is what did me in. I knew that I could never wear a tie dye concert t-shirt and birkenstocks ever again.
I take back the sweater sets comment and trade it for heels with jeans, that was the official turning point.
Oh yeah, heels with jeans. And what about that first time you feel OK about wearing a blazer to a social function...
