Still here. I'm the outlier that dresses for practical reasons. I'm really not into impressing anyone. Always looking to see if anything interesting shows up that works with my long arms and short torso. The fashion scene seems ridiculous most of the time with men bundled up under many layers of clothing, and the woman is wearing a sleeveless, and backless outfit. I dont understand all the jacket wearing indoors. I spend a lot of time outside. When I go inside(if it's 60 or below jacket weather) the jacket is the first thing to go. House set at 68 degrees.

Where I live, you also see the opposite -- it could be 15 degrees out and you see people walking down the street making no concession to the reality of the weather at all except for a puffy vest. And then they complain they're cold when they have to stand at an outside window to buy a movie ticket.

I don't own any "modern" clothes, not because I'm trying to make any kind of a point, but because I'm a woman over sixty who would look ridiculous in a band t-shirt and leggings. (Besides, who ever heard of a Fats Waller and His Rhythm t-shirt?)

I'm the same way! Why in the world do you wear a jacket in your house unless your house is freezing?
