Chic After Fifty

Do you like the #selfieinthekitchen with book?

I am actually reading this book, Il ragazzo che nacque due volte (I know the title is unreadeble in the picture, I am sorry) by Alessio Tavecchio, and it is so very interesting and I am also working on a project related to it, that I decided to take it with me for my usual selfie!

But I will tell you more about that project when the time will come.

For the moment, let me go back to fashion and to pants. I was so used to call them trousers, that it is still strange for me to write “pants”. But I know from my sister and from my summer in America that this is what they call them… so I will beg their pardon from my British readers and continue to write “pants”!

Generally speaking I think small women (myself being among them) look better with skinny or straight leg pants. But it would be boring to have only one type of pants! To make the best of wide-leg pants to me is to chose them very wide and of a very soft fabric, and then to wear them with a very small and short top (here I have three T-shirts, a white Hanes, a grey long sleeved Joe Boxer and a wool one by Aspesi Blu), and a pair of flats. Any type of high heels would be ridiculous or worse… don’t believe what the fashion magazines tell you! I think sneakers like Saucony or New Balance, or Converse All Star are the best.

What do you think?

Have a nice day!
