grandma panties
trend # trois millions sept cent soixante deux mille and how i feel about grandma panties being worn as outerwear and visible panty lines (more here).

we spent most of the day waiting for the weather to clear at chicago o’hare airport. the clouds refused to lift, and we were stranded without our luggage and in the clothes we had been wearing since 5 am. luckily, the hotel was next to target. it was monumental, like seeing pearly gates in hell. we raced over as quickly as we could in our flip flops, making our way through the health and beauty section picking up items to make our overnight stay bearable–toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, lotion, soap, deodorant. underwear. we reconvened at the check out station, our baskets full of goodies. each of us watching what brand shampoo and what items we may have missed that another had remembered. And, of course what kind of underwear each picked out.
black thong.
nude thong.
another black thong.
flowers with lace detailed thong.
blue and green grandma panties.
wait, grandma panties?
the lone wolf stood among her work collegues.
yes, those are mine.
that lone wolf… she is so ahead of her time.
how to wear footless tights when you’re not 21 anymore
recap of a discussion i had not too long ago.
can a woman in her 30s wear footless tights without looking like a throwback from 1991?
the office consensus voted: leave them alone. they belong on myspace.com only.
me: “but, it is possible to rock footless tights without an acid-washed jean mini skirt and without looking like janet livermore (think empire-waist, mini floral dress with a tie in the back and sheer–SHEER!)”.
they snickered and went back to their desks.
so, for those women who get their sartorialist moment during fashion week, who sit front row and say “oh zees? zees is veentage,” who actually wear footless tights in public, i thank you for coming to my defense.
which leads me to my next thought: is the pairing of chocolate tights and gold open toe, five inch heels inappropriate for a new mother?
