Dear Glinda:
I'm 33, and everything seems to be either geared towards career women, mommies (I'm not one) or party girls. What happened to casual chic?

Evie –
It sure feels that way doesn’t it. It seems impossible to find some good casual clothes that don’t make you look like you’re 15 or its laundry day. It’s a fine line to balance that look. Unfortunately for us casual chic is not exactly laid out for us you have to go searching. I’m a big fan of tshirts with cardigans and jeans. I like to pair a relaxed tshirt with maybe a fun slogan or from a vacation with a cute cardigan and awesome jeans and cute flats. It makes me feel as though I’m dressed relaxed without looking like slob. Some of my friends favor a long sleeve tshirt with dark jeans or a hoodie with a fitted tshirt underneath.
When it comes to casual looks its dead important to get the proportions right. You can’t have a big sweatshirt with baggy jeans you will just end up looking like a big sloppy mess. If you want to wear a baggy top wear a more fitted bottom. If you have a zip up hoodie wear it with a fitted tshirt and jeans. If you have a fitted top you can have a more looser bottom on.
I have to say this but at 33 there is absolutely no reason for you to run around in head to toe sweats unless you are coming from the gym or on your way to the gym. If you are not doing either of those things then NO SWEATS IN PUBLIC. Sweats are for lounging around the house not running around all day in public. If you absolutely must wear them they have to be chicly constructed a la yoga pants with a fitted tshirt and fitted sweat shirts. Nothing out of control. Again this is only if you absolutely cannot break yourself of the sweats habit.
Fashionably,
