Gore-Tex Chic

It’s official: In this neck of the woods pinstripe and Gore-Tex are widely accepted as coordinating outfits. Don’t get me wrong. Many of my friends can tell you that I am by no means a fashionista. I’m of the breed who feels that wrinkles add character to an outfit and handkerchief do-rags are Sunday style at its best. Thus I was glad to stand behind a woman this morning at the local coffee joint who was dressed in pinstripes, stilettos and completed the outfit with her favorite bulky rain parka. After all, it was raining outside per the usual. A woman after my own instincts! Fleece and Gore-Tex – Don't leave home without it.
