I observed that in the evenings Villager men wore khakis, and the women wore slacks or capris, or (believe it or not) skirts! Again, coordinated outfits with accessories. Everybody looked very spiffy, so of course I ran right out and bought some new clothes & accessories.

Last winter I noticed that some of the newer Villagers (men & women) wore jeans and sweatshirts to the country clubs, the restaurants, on the squares, etc.. At first I thought they were locals enjoying the amenities, but they were new Villagers. I haven't seen jeans at the Savannah Center - yet. I'm not making any judgments; I'm just sharing my observations. (Maybe the newer folks are from somewhere other than the Midwest? I have relatives in the Midwest, and they always wear 'outfits' and look great, even when going to WalMart. I don't think they own any jeans) Would any Midwesterners care to comment? On the other hand, maybe it's due to the newbies being younger than some of us?

And from the previous posts, I think we should all start wearing gloves when we go to the garden center. Maybe we could wear those long, over-the-elbow evening gloves

uujudy, every respectable Southern woman knows that only gloves shorter than opera length gloves are worn in the garden center. And they should be removed before smoking.
