You probably will find it easier to shop in stores that cater to women “of a certain age” and offer good personal service — stores such as Talbots, Ann Taylor, Chico’s and Coldwater Creek. The better department stores also have suitable fashion selections. Too often, however, helpful sales associates are in short supply. Friend is backing wrong horse Question: I have a friend who is obsessed with horses. Everything in her closet has a horse print, a horse applique or a horse pin attached. How do I get her to wear something different? Answer: Why would you want to rein in your friend’s obsession? A lot of people have a sartorial signature — a motif, color or accessory that reflects their personal style, hobby or interest. It makes them unique, is a form of self-expression and doubtless makes getting dressed in the morning easier and more pleasurable. If your friend were wearing something offensive or indecent — T-shirts with racist slurs, for example, or extremely revealing clothing — that would be a horse of a different color. But I don’t understand why you find her equestrian theme so intolerable. I say let it ride. She wants pal to rein in horse theme. Page G3
