And yes, wear it anyway! You're never too old to try new things... okay, except hot pants maybe. Well, I don't think there's any good age for that one... Ooh, love swiss dot! And yes, wear it anyway!

Those selections are all wonderful. I really loved your ideas. I won't be jumping on the white, or eyelet bandwagon, however. I'm not that brave. Plus, I don't dare, with my white, white skin. Too much white makes Elizabeth look like Casper the Ghost. The closest I got was the recent purchase of a white Swiss-dot-style blouse à la Marc Jacobs' recent puffed-sleeve numbers, and I think I was pushing the outer limits of cute on a 39-year-old. Damn the torpedoes, I'm wearing it anyway. Oh boy. Those selections are all wonderful. I really loved your ideas.

One flutter of lace, and a half-dozen underexposed self-styled "fashionistas" (i.e., not you, Alex) start squawking "tablecloth!" Apparently the only encounter the poor dears have had with the miraculous, luminous stuff of dreams. I deliberately refrain from adding "wedding dress" because, too often, a wedding confection of lace will also elicit the "tablecloth!" squawks. Lace is wonderful stuff; in the 17th century, warring generals would allow lace merchants safe passage from one side to the other, since no gentleman would be seen without his lace. Beauty <i>and</i> peace; how many other fashions can say the same? Lace is beautiful, flattering, and highly collectible (i.e., 90% of the best of it I certainly can't afford). If anyone should say "tablecloth" to you, feel free to look them up and down and say with a sneer, "Not where I've seen <i>you</i> eat!" Pshaw.
