The Tog Shop

For all of us, along with death and taxes, comes the inevitable spectre of elastic-waisted trousers. I recently received a catalogue from The Tog Shop and was surprised, indeed, that it was not accompanied by an invitation to join AARP (my husband has already received one of these and it was not a pretty sight). To be perfectly frank, the prospect of aging horrifies me far less than that of wearing elastic-waisted trousers (which I feel should be relegated strictly to maternity wardrobes). This being said, The Tog Shop catalogue carries a number of brands: Leon Levin, Haymaker, Alfred Dunner, Foxcroft, and Koret--whose speciality is clothing for women of a certain age.


It is true that, as one ages, most of us do not want to encounter the horrified glances and averted eyes occasioned by that syndrome known as "mutton dressed as lamb." There is something to be said--at any age--for three-quarter sleeves (covers upper-arm wobble, sometimes cruelly called "bat-wings") and low-heeled loafers. The advantage of these clothing lines is that all the separates will easily mix and match, interchangably, they are, undoubtedly, very practical, and I am sure they wash and pack well. There is, somehow, something about these clothes that depresses the hell out of me. It is probably because I can see most of these outfits coming off of a chartered tour bus, completed by fanny packs stuffed with senior discount coupons.


I would say that they are best for their accessories--handbags, shoes, sandals--and for their bathing suits, which are (unsurprisingly) very modest and offered in a nice range of colors and patterns--but I somehow, just cannot get my mind around those elastic-waisted trousers (shudder). As with any catalogue, check their website before ordering, especially the "clearance" page, to see if there are any good deals not represented in the printed catalogue (it can't hurt to get into the practice, in anticipation of all those "senior" discounts!!).

I rarely comment, however i did some searching and wound up here "The Tog Shop".

And I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it appear like some of the remarks look as if they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on other online sites, I would like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your community sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I think that everything posted made a lot of sense. But, think about
this, what if you added a little content? I ain't suggesting your content is not good., however suppose you added a title that grabbed people's attention?

I mean "The Tog Shop" is a little plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they write post headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a pic or two to get people interested about everything've written.
In my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely
off topic but I had to tell someone!
