Fall Style: When It’s a Chico’s Kind of Day

September’s here guys, it’s back to schoolz.  Scarves! Sweaters! Suede! Blazers! Walking across the quad on your way to have ill-advised sex with some guy you met at an off campus party!

With fashion week upon us here in New York, and scads of things to spend money on, choosing what pieces to add to your fall wardrobe can be confusing. But what if everyday were a Chico’s kind of day? While much of fashion is about looking attractive to other people in addition to oneself, Chico’s frumpy-ESL teacher aesthetic looks at conventional standards of sexual appeal and seems to say “I’d rather be making a God’s Eye”. Behold!

So what if Gene never called after their weekend in Joshua Tree?  Selma would probably meet tons of men in tonight’s sand painting class.

Barbara was certain she’d found just the thing to wear to Cactus Bar for Girls Night Out to celebrate Angela’s divorce.

Eve stood on the porch, and tried to suppress a delighted grin as the mailman approached, finally  holding  her Netflix copy of “Dances With Wolves”.

Darlene could hear her mother’s voice, “A woman your age has a better chance of getting killed by a terrorist…”, but bought the coat anyway.

Pamela managed to keep a smile on her face throughout her interpretation of Bjork’s “Hyperballad” even as her freshman Intro to Art Therapy students snickered audibly.

Andrea wasn’t sure what gave it away, but somehow her friends all knew she had gone home with the Navajo bartender.
