It's amazing how far some people will go in their dressing younger.

When I started drifting back into wearing knee-length skirts with fluffy petticoats, I tried on an outfit and asked Pete "So, is this too ... mutton disguised as lamb? Am I in danger of looking like one of Those Women?"

He reassured me that if I did try to wear anything that made me look like an idiot, he'd tell me. So far he hasn't yet.

Good man. I honestly wonder how women who are obviously still dressing from the "juniors" department get out of the house.

What counts as obvious junior? Because I do shop in juniors on occasion. But I also have a reasonably high disregard for what I look like on my own time.

I pretty much still dress the way I did in high school and college. Well, except that I've stopped wearing things that are four or five sizes too big.

But jeans in one's actual size and t-shirts are pretty much ageless, right?

Also, want.

What counts as obvious junior?

Pants and skirts that are lengths meant for non-growth spurt having people. Also, pants and skirts that are cut for girls who don't have hips yet on women who do.

Tank tops or tees are different, provided they fit right and aren't too tight.

I don't get this -- long or short?

Too short. My sister is 5'4". She will buy skirts from a "juniors" dept at Macy's and it's cut in a way that I can tell it's meant for someone younger and shorter.

Yes, and I say that as someone who doesn't own a pair of jeans.

Hee. I just sold a skirt to someone in Elizabethtown, KY. Hee.
