I am seeing a bright pink jogger set from Anybody.

And a bright pink velour hoodie from Isaac.

 

And this is asking a lot, I believe.

 

The proportions of my body call for shorter, more cropped tops. The proportions on the bottom for me are not 
petite". I require regular inseams and struggle to wear any type of pant other than high rise.

 

Fashions with these proportions are definitely hard to find! But when I do see them, I usually GEAB them. I order from the Candace Cameron Bure line often because they are often proportioned like this!

 

So my wish would be to find more fashions such as this. Another idea that would be very attractive to me would be something like this:

I learned many years ago to purchase less, but better quality...even if the items cost more. I still have those blazers, slacks, jeans sweaters and they look like new after many times wearing and cleaning.

 

There's nothing better than quality tailoring and fabrics.

I do see a lot of silhouettes like that.  Just not at QVC.  It is a "younger" silhouette.  Try HM, Zara, Asos, Mango.

So true!  The younger generation doesn't know what quality fabic and construction means.  Not rayon!

@Shanus  The lesson for life in our home was quality not quantity!

I know that the clothing that I purchased several years ago - far superior in quality to what seems to be out there now for the most part.  Unless you have unlimited $$$ to spend, which I don't!  After I stopped working, I donated a ton of clothing which I had no more use for.  But as I was going through things, I was really sad to part with a lot of these things because they were so beautifully made and of such great quality.  Try to find things today for similar money and much higher and you would be hard pressed to do so!  So, being retired, I have to watch my pennies much more closely now.  And I often buy cheaper things because that's what I find out there and what I can afford.  I don't wear my things often and I'm not hard on my things, so I don't have to buy the very best or most expensive.  Unless I want something for a special occasion, which is rare!

At my age, i am not looking for something to be in my closet for years.  I already have that.  I want to dress more relevant and trendy and cute -- I don't want to spend $85 on a print tunic blouse -- stop with the tunics and jean jackets.  Plus the overselling by hosts continues which is why I still watch but on mute.  I too wish to see something new and cool.
