Can You Believe What She’s Wearing?

When I was young I thought of older women as grannies. My grandmother wore her housedress most of the time. I never saw her wear slacks until I was a teenager and the extended family was at a lake in Minnesota where the adults, including my grandmother, were fishing. I guess when you’re in a rowboat catching slippery fish you don’t have to wear a dress.

Then there were the librarians, strict and prim with tiny pinched faces and hair in a tidy bun. I’m sure they didn’t all look like that, but that’s the image engraved in my memory.

Times have changed! My daughter, a costume and fashion designer www.juliemichaelnewyork.com, keeps me informed about such things.
