There was an article in the “Personal Journal” section of the Wall Street Journal this morning. The headline read “New Muse: The CEO”. The sub-title talked about designers such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and others embracing the pantsuit and “Matchy-Matchy” style for women. Now, none of these incredible designers are hanging in my closet (yet), but what we see from the major designers does drift down into “real time”.

I am an old school Capricorn who abhors “business casual”. Business is business,people! Dress accordingly! So I am more than thrilled to see well done pants suits for women making a comeback. Hand out some bonuses to these boys (and girls!)!

BTW - I did some checking – my favorite designer, Georgio Armani – has some very nice jackets, slacks and skirts that fit this category.

The new look, according to this article, and looking at the pics, is comfortable, strong and “far from body revealing” (read conservative). No shoulder pads (although I kind of liked that look!), the jackets are long, and the pants are (relatively) wide legged. These cloths are definitely wearable!

As I said – the designer version is not in my closet yet, but a more “medium priced” version certainly will be! Time to ramp things back up a bit!

I drew one card from the Tarot to see what this more reasonable style from the chic designers means for us. LOL I drew the card of Judgment! To me, this means that we are being asked to let go of preconceived notions about what we should wear, or of what we need to look like. This is a time to be reborn, in the fashion sense at least, and be comfortable, proud and professional, all at the same time. Back to the future!
