Casper could rock those bottoms - in fact, they look suspiciously like something in the Lands End kids line.

In other fashion news, I bought Casper a black rah-rah skirt today, and she already has knee-high black 3-layers-of-fringe Minnetonka boots (a birthday present from ebay.) She's basically living in 1986, fashion-wise. I am hesitant to tell her so. (Shopping with her was hilarious today. I wanted to buy her a classic little-girls dress - we're going to my grandfather's 90th birthday party this weekend - and she kept saying, 'that's something a SIX year old would wear.' I think she won.) (In other other fashion news, my mother told me she's thinking of wearing a tunic and capri leggings to said birthday party. She's 62, people. Am I going to be the only age-appropriate person there?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe it's the Cambridge speaking, but I think the right tunic and capri leggings are totally 62-year-old style.

I do think that's a fine causal look for her age, but this a cocktail party and sit-down dinner for about 30 at a posh retirement community in Annapolis, so I was thinking a little more formal.

Oh, sure -- I wouldn't say it's appropriate for every event! But it does sound like what our 60-something Chief Counsel or whatever her title is wears to work all the time!

I wanted this dress for myself: [link] (They didn't have it in Casper's size, and she wouldn't even consider it.)

She tried this on, and it was darling, but did sort of make her look like a 6 year old: [link] An ADORABLE 6 year old.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

what's up with the strings?

Seriously--that bandeau top flatters two women, and those strings make that a moot point.

I'm sorry to hear your cat is not happy, Jesse.

A tunic and capris could be formal--it depends entirely on the tunic and the capris (my mother or sister would tend to wear Indian shantung silk with embroidery, beading, or sequins).

sorry your kitty is having such a hard time, Jesse. Poor old guy!

Ooh, that dress is cute, msbelle. The URL scared me.

Thanks, y'all. He has never been sick for the 10 years I've had him, so the whole thing is extra disconcerting to me.

I am about to purge my closet. Anything straight and tight through the hips is getting tossed. It is at least 2 suits, 3 skirts, and 2 dresses. Therefore I am looking at potential replacements (which is probably silly, I should just reduce).
