Life in my fifties is presenting a number of challenges. Some of them are funny - others, not so much. I am thinking WAY too much about what is "appropriate" - something I've not worried much about in the past.

H & M : Found $12.99 Dresses!
I visited H&M at Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh this morning. I love that store for its low prices but dislike having to try on everything. This is one of those stores that the question "Appropriate???" rings in my ears. I love the way the clothes look on the hangers but too short hemlines are an issue for a fifty year old. I tried on seven different styles of dresses. The prices ranged from $7.00 to $35.00. Do I need another summer dress? No. Do I crave cute, inexpensive, comfortable summer dresses? Yes. It's a big bonus if they can also be work appropriate, a whole 'nother can of "appropriate" to think about. After striking out with six of the seven, I thought it was a wasted trip. The last one proved to be a winner. Not too short, not too low cut at the neckline or armholes, loose but not baggy, very comfortable fabric that can go in the washer and dryer - a winner all around. And the price was $12.99! With a cardigan or jeans jacket, it will be great for work too. The colors offered were white, black, peach, tan, and burgandy. I got one in tan and one in burgandy since I have sandals, scarves, and cardigans that will match both. Yeah! Score!
