    Fashion fads we love to hate

    Fair enough. :)

    A word to men who wear high boots

    They're tall, very plain, leather, medium-soled, low-heeled boots that happen to look like riding boots. In ankle-deep snow, I can wear them or wear my chukka boots and pack another pair of shoes for the office. The tall boots are the more sensible choice. I feel about cowboy boots as you...

    Valentine's Day. What's your view?

    From the Wall Street Journal today: The Roman Catholic Church, unable to verify the history of Saints Valentine (there were at least three), struck St. Valentine's Day from its official calendar in 1969. And, Cupid, take cover: All three Valentines were martyred. The anti-Valentine movement...

    A word to men who wear high boots

    I wear tall boots in the winter because the snow can't get in them. They keep my legs warm, too.

    A word to men who wear high boots

    The article is so specific as to diet, appearance, and even a name. I don't think the article has much to do with knee-high boots.

    Fashion fads we love to hate

    Well said--low-slung pants aren't very flattering on the vast majority of women. About the only women I've seen who can really carry them off are professional or serious amateur dancers.

    Personal Elements of Style

    We no longer have to wear pantyhose at work. I'm thinking about wearing bobby socks instead.

    How about if we wear what we like and you wear what you like.

    The natural soul of a hat wearer and the energy of the past

    You shouldn't use such technical terms.

    The natural soul of a hat wearer and the energy of the past

    I don't think the soul knows linear time. A fragrance can call forth the feelings of 30 years ago. Go into a deep meditation and without a clock, it's unclear whether it has lasted minutes or hours. The symbols we choose aren't random. Symbols can mean different things. They can be literal...

    Is "Boys/Men Only" too Taboo?

    Long ago, Judge Judy was hired by L'Oreal as in-house legal counsel. She was assigned to making sales calls; her male colleague wasn't. I'm glad things have changed since then, but I agree that any position should be given to the best candidate for the job, period.

    When Not to Wear a Hat?

    I rarely leave the house without a hat on. It's mostly to shield my head and face from the weather, but yes, it's also a fashion statement, and one that only a small percentage of people make. Others don't necessarily know what to make of it. If you think otherwise, check out these very long...

    Jury Duty

    I'm sure a classic suit as part of a quiet, business-like outfit is fine. I'd leave the hat in the car.

    When Not to Wear a Hat?

    You called it right. There's a time and place for fashion statements, and a typical job interview isn't it.

    I wish I had a job I could dress nicely at

    There seems to be a contingent at the FL who believe that if you aren't wearing a suit, you're a slob. Baloney. When your job calls for it, there's nothing sloppy about putting on clean, simple, sturdy, well-fitting clothes in good repair.

    Which suit for prom/ball?

    I like #2. To me, the first one looks too business-like for an evening out.

    That's what I've heard. :(

    Girls - Let's Play. House?

    In the first house I remember living in, there were about five other kids on the block. We jumped on a neighbor's trampoline and another girl taught me gymnastics and we played whatever games we made up. When I was eight, we moved to a suburb of mostly middle-aged couples whose kids had...

    Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?

    Unless you're a particularly important client or customer at a business, it probably won't do any good to correct them on Ms., Mrs. or Miss. They may have various databases, hundreds or thousands of customers and staff that changes frequently.

    Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?

    Somebody once assumed that I was married and dumped my husband. [huh] I've never been married.
