Those silly new year’s “lists” are somewhat intriguing. It’s basically rehashing everything with a different twist. Trends for the new year per “The Today Show” include two items we know and love: the sleeveless jacket and the multi-stick.
First of all, a sleeveless jacket is a vest. Vests have been sported by moi for so many years. I travel with a five-pocketed one because it provides easy access and security to whatever I’m dragging with me. The vest movement began on my safari to Africa – that was eons ago. I have longer-length vests for warmth in the winter which also provide the same benefits, thus keeping me from dragging a purse along on my escapades. The “sleeveless jacket” has been a staple in my wardrobe for nearly a quarter of a century. I do update to the newest models at times. This year saw a Husker-red vest added to the closet.
The multi-stick. This is a cosmetic item better known in my life as a lipstick. Apparently this new-fangled trend is a stick to be used as rouge, eye shadow, or lipstick. I bought rouge once from the Avon lady, probably in high school. Otherwise, I knew oh-so-many years ago, that lipstick worked the same magic. Consolidation is the key to magical beauty results. (Cough, sputter…)
Trending today? Trying to recall what my weekly routine was before the holidays! It is Thursday, not Monday. It was my prior cleaning day. We’ll see if that happens in this shiny and bright new year. I’m off to make my own list!
