Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

Never said or implied otherwise. Still , rather than promoting bag lady blah-ness, the author might use the fashion section to elevate,….. not promote mediocrity.
Here’s a link to an aged lady with real fashion flair. Surely we have our own version around these parts

Davyne, you are so right. Thanks for the inspiring reference.
Iris Apfel = flair = age is irrelevant
Perhaps you biased fashionistas would be generous and submit photos of yourself, to show us your good taste & grace us with your secrets for overcoming age & mediocrity?
Great link Betty.
If memory serves me, she said that she’d never spend more than $20.00 for a pair of jeans.
Davyne, check out this one–more of the age-is-irrelevant flair we promoted earlier.

Great flair can happen even in decrepit old age.
