Royal Granny Glam

The English media is all in a flap over Princess Anne wearing the same dress twice in a row. Twenty-seven years apart. Sheesh. Tough crowd over there.

I think the dress looked fine both times. I wear clothing my grandmother wore 50 years ago because it's great quality and still looks chic. Princess Anne's quote is exactly right:

"A good suit goes on forever. If it is properly made and has a classic look you can go on wearing it ad infinitum."

Or at least until you get sick of it. Then, you pass it on.

So glad the Granny Glam trend is sticking with us. I give you small print fabrics, cardigans and skinny belts, trotted out at the Burberry Prorsum, Resort 2009 show.

I do love this look. A lot. Those of us exceeding 20 years of age and 115 pounds will need to modify. But the tailored pants and the long cardigans and/or jackets are great for every age and body type.
