Capris & Bermuda Shorts & Alternatives, Please

January 31, 2013

Q. Jordan,

I have heard some fashionistas saying capri pants are a definite no-no. So what are the other options for bottoms in the summer for someone who is a busy mom but still wants to look stylish? Bermuda shorts, pedal pushers? I [don't want to] wear short-shorts...but I don't want to look like a grandmother either.

A. You know, I wouldn't say that capri pants are "a definite no-no." Mostly because I wouldn't say that anything is a definite no-no...but it's true: that length does have a tendency to sort of cut you off vertically, and just isn't particularly flattering on many people, myself included.

2012 Recap: Personal Style

December 31, 2012

Well, that was a year.

Not "a year"...a year. I mean, lots happened.

Style-wise I went from city girl to suburban mama, and my look chilled out accordingly (but still managed not to change all that much, because I've been a creature of slouchy habit since approximately 1981).

I used to occasionally wear skirts and dresses and, you know...clothing that people wear in public; now I reach for jeans and sweaters that could arguably double as pajamas. Or might actually be pajamas. You never know.

December 12, 2012

I spent yesterday running all over the city to meetings and events, and needed a look that would work from morning to evening, but still be respectably comfortable and practical.
