What Not to Wear

Orders are pouring in for MenaceTM Fashion's tres chic house cleaning fashion line, but we've also heard from customers who feel the look may be "too casual" for less-intense household chores, like simple kitchen tasks. Listen to this testimonial from a satisfied, but "looking for more" customer:

"I love my MenaceTM Fashion Floor Mopping Cropped Pants, the 'MopCrop.' They do flatter my figure, and what's more important when cleaning your floor, I ask you? And, I've really taken to your hints on accesorizing through patterned kerchiefs. I've got a handful I alternate so that they compliment the various MenaceTM Fashion scoop neck T's I bought through your catalog. I have one concern, however. Cropped pants and scoop neck T's are fine for my nitty gritty household chores, but I feel they are too casual for the easier daily chores like cooking. I feel underdressed in my kitchen when wearing a T-shirt, as I'm sure you understand." -- Bree V., Wisteria Lane.

Well, we certainly do understand, Bree! And we're here to help. Again, Alice Mitchell displays the latest in our fashion line -- this for your daily kitchen tasks:

As Alice shows here, black ballet flats are suitable for any home chore occasion. They accentuate your legs, look fashionable, and as an added bonus, are also comfortable.

Of course, cropped pants (or, really, slacks of any kind) aren't appropriate for the more relaxed chores. A knee-length black skirt is the best choice. Black IS the new black, and the knee length is flattering, without being unseemly.

Also inappropriate for kitchen wear are T-shirts of any kind. Instead of a scoop neck T, Alice now wears a pretty and feminine flowery blouse. Note the accents on her apron -- they nicely compliment her shirt! (While this isn't strictly necessary for kitchen fashion, it's that special touch, ladies, that will get your husband's attention!). Finally, no kerchiefs or pony tails in the kitchen! Yes, you will want to keep your hair out of your eyes and out of the food you are preparing, but the best way to do that is through hot rollering your hair, and then spraying and setting your style. Aquanet works just fine.

And, here, Alice is really doing nothing more than wiping down her counter, so she needn't think of any ways to downplay her fashion.

Grandma's back! And she has updated grandchildren rankings. Who knew Grandma had such an affinity for college football?
