I’m on another website where there is a thread about capris for people over 35. The whole thread is for it, arguing that people should be able to wear and do what they want if they feel like it. Very American. At 37 I’m fairly certain I will never wear capri pants again.

It’s rather comforting to know that my regular wardrobe can still be considered “casual”. I always feel so overdressed — not that it ever stops me. My basic outfit right now consists of fun flats, an a-line skirt in a solid color or basic pattern, a solid-colored knit top, and a light jacket or cardigan. Most people around me are either jeans-and-t-shirt types or tend to wear what you call gear. The former I find acceptable but not at all flattering on most, while the latter strikes me as disrespectful in many cases. But I must add that my outfits and I continue to get a very warm reception and I think that my style might be rubbing off on a few people.

Hmm, maybe it’s the fact that the model is headless that’s throwing me off

Hm, after reading this entry I wonder if there’s much of anything in my closet that isn’t considered casual. The timing on this is perfect though. I’m getting ready to leave on tour with our college choir, so I’ll spend a lot of time in casual clothes riding on a bus. I’ll try to do it with style.

Your walk shorts sound lovely Nicole. And I like the items that you want to wear with them. How about a little peep-toe low wedged heel? Or heeled espadrille? Yes, you can wear heels with walk shorts by the way.

Glad that it’s clear Patience!

You need to be a little taller to wear skirts at the models length Maya. I’m 5ft 6 and that’s not tall but that’s the skirt length that works best for me with flats or heels. Everyone’s knee length is different and it’s good that you recognize that your knee length needs to be a little shorter.

Thanks, Angie! You’ve cleared things up completely. Being able to change a few pieces of an outfit to go from casual to smart casual and back again is exactly what suits my lifestyle. Your tips and examples are giving me the confidence to be able to do that.
