Unless you’re Ryan Lochte or Prince Harry –
whose choices to rock minimal to no clothing actually increase their popularity
– it’s best to appear in public in, well, clothes.
US Airways agrees. It was reported
yesterday that they’re actually kicking passengers off planes for sporting too
little (clothing), too much (cleavage) and/or too foul (slogans).
It’s a good thing US Airways wasn’t the
official Olympic airline sponsor or America could’ve kissed that gold in the
400 meter goodbye. Since most of us have to wear clothes to ensure our
continued popularity with friends, neighbors and US Airways, why not wear cute,
and appropriate, ones?
Here are my top 5 wardrobe updates this
season.
1-
Lands End Canvas Jacket – Women’s Alice Shrunken
Blazer. So versatile. Polished, not overdone. The jean jacket for grown ups who
loved Pony Boy but don’t want to look like him. $160
2-
Sperry Top-Sider Women’s Angelfish Shoes - Love
the look in silver. Goes with a ton of different outfits. Cute and comfortable.
Win-win. Price varies wildly from $76 on up. Check lots of different websites.
3-
Soho Shirt – Boden USA. The different jewel
toned colors light up any complexion. Easy elegance. $83.
4-
Long Sleeve Tunic (dress) – Zara. Modern meets
“Mad Men”. Love it. $99.
5-
Leather jacket with frill at waist – Zara. Simple & the cut is flattering but a
little bit edgy. Gives your long sleeve tunic dress a downtown vibe. $249
Wearing any of these items might not be as
fun as a game of naked billiards, but they still might land your pic in a magazine.
Under the caption “Momshell”. *
*This definition is for my friend Dianne
who was mystified when I used the term “shout out” so I’m pretty sure she doesn’t
know “mom shell”. A mom shell is a combination mom/bombshell. The phrase was
pioneered last week by “Us Magazine”, and it is awesome.
