I clicked on the link and read the Vogue updated version. I was surprised to see the similarities of the suggestions from 1967 and today! I must find the book, as the drawings themselves seem worth it! I won't even begin talking about my wardrobe and closet. You know, everyone wants the huge walk in closet, but really, it is just an easy way to keep so many things I don't need! I went through my things in the cedar closet this weekend and found a few beautiful maternity clothes--my "baby" is 21.

It's especially hard for me because I love vintage clothing and women were so tiny back then. It gets really depressing when you continually find dresses that you love but know that your waistline is miles too big for any of them. But learning to dress for my body type and finding a fit that flatters would do wonders. Thanks for the book suggestions!<br /><br />- Denise<br />Retro GranAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00545023539161418817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215012239224279787.post-40108066773604959232012-10-14T21:58:50.611-04:002012-10-14T21:58:50.611-04:00Looks like a neat book.

I think that once you work with your body type, it's easier to shop. I like to keep everything simple and classic and add flair with accessories. Years ago when I first went to Rome and Paris I was knocked out by how chic the women of all ages looked. I think you are on the right track!

I never had a problem dressing for work, special occasions or play until I hit my mid 50's. I am now 58. I don't want to dress too young, I don't want to dress to old....so I am going to check out Stacy's book. Thanks for letting me know about it!<br />PennyPenny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215012239224279787.post-44472771960844721662012-10-13T18:03:08.674-04:002012-10-13T18:03:08.674-04:00I love that dressing room!

Wow! <br /><br />I've worn a uniform almost my entire life as I went to a parochial all girls school through high school, and then nursing school, and then worked as a nurse in scrubs, so my wardrobe has always been a causal one. Even now I own more jeans and t-shirts or turtlenecks than anything else. I am looking forward to ahving a larger closet when I move to Colorado. Still waiting for our house to sell in Brooklyn!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215012239224279787.post-73023671873633921392012-10-13T17:59:16.884-04:002012-10-13T17:59:16.884-04:00I don't have much of a wardrobe right now.
