Oh, yeah, Chico's comes to mind. That's one store that I won't shop w/o DH
because I get a case of the cheapskates. Coldwater Creek is as much as I can stand to spend, and then it's the clearance racks for me. But comfortable at goal weight is a totally different matter than comfortable now. ; ) "FOB" wrote in message t... In my opinion clothes can be both pretty and comfortable.

Yeah, and of course, those are my words which takes the entire matter even farther into speculation. Still, I do think there are people who dress for comfort and don't care so much about looks.

Probably for the ease of it. Depending on age, arthritis and things
like that probably dictate what they wear. I have a couple of elderly aunts that can't drive anymore, and really don't have strength in their hands to use curling irons and things like that these days, so they keep their hair very short. I would imagine the same goes for buttons and things that are hard to fasten. Cheri Have you seen those elderly ladies lately who have their heads nearly shaved?

Okay, here's the bitter truth. As you get older your hair gets thinner. As
it turns grey or white those hairs get wiry so it gets harder to make it do what you want it to do. And, as you get older most get less concerned about their looks and less willing to spend lots of time on their appearance. Thus a nice short hairdo that is basically wash and wear is very appealing to the wearer.

But not stretchy. I like knits.
