Fall is an exciting time for new college freshmen and their parents. It’s the first time your kid is living away from home. For students, it’s a time for new friends, new freedoms, and of course, football.

One of the traditions is tailgating; a vast gathering of cars, food and drink. For alumni, it’s an annual event where people load their cars with bar-b-que grills, chairs and tables. They even bring the dogs. Many use this time to socialize and they watch the game on their computers while soaking up the sun.

Do people still go to cocktail parties? You do if you work for the federal government in Washington DC.

High profile business events are also places where you’ll see cocktail dresses—at award ceremonies and trade show parties. And if you are millennial-age, your social schedule is packed with weddings, showers, and rehearsal dinners. My cousin in 2023 alone, had 10 weddings and all the related parties.

…Ask your boobs.

The V-neck may be your best friend.

Whether it’s a blouse, a dress, a ballgown, or a t-shirt, the neckline you choose is all about the size of your breasts. For instance, if yours are a C-cup or above you’re best off with a V-neck. Here’s the thing, a v neckline prevents a large bust from looking shelf-like or solid. Remember the uni-boob? You don’t want to go there. 

Let’s start with t-shirts because they are a wardrobe staple.

If you saw the movie Legally Blonde, you’ll remember the scene where Elle Woods (Reese’s character) shows up at a party dressed as a Playboy Bunny.

While showing skin—a little or a lot—is a hot trend for 2023. It’s hardly a new thing. In fact, sheer fabrics go all the way back to the flapper days of the roaring 1920s. What brought this about? Prohibition.

During the era of the flapper, women rebelled against the strict Victorian styles of their mothers. They embraced sheer, movable fabric with dropped waistlines and raised hems. The look was seen at speakeasies where women could show off their slender bodies, drink, smoke cigarettes, and dance to the admiration of all.
