BlogHer Tuesday: "Disabled" and "Frumpy" Are Not Synonyms
Lo these many MANY months ago (seriously, it's embarrassing how long it takes me to answer my e-mail sometimes) the very lovely Rachel asked about how to be stylish on a scooter. No, not THAT kind of scooter; Rachel has health issues that make it difficult for her to get around, and she's been lucky enough to get a scooter to cruise around on during the day. She wrote:
There's no reason that being physically disabled means you can't be stylish; all Rachel needs is a strategy and some rules. So what did I recommend? The answer is here.
I'm ok(ish) looking frumpy. I'm ok(ish) looking disabled. I'm NOT OK looking both.

thank you so much for all your wonderful ideas. it's so great my birthday is coming up - I can get some clothes that fit your recommendations!
I've been reading a bunch of your posts and most of your style suggestions make sense. Except for the bit on blogher.com about pairing a cashmere sweater with yoga pants. Stacy and Clinton would turn you around and send you into the 360 degree mirror for that violation. :) Yoga pants are made of stretchy cotton, and really the only shirts that go with that are also cotton. Something like a v-neck long sleeved shirt. Or a zip-up cotton yoga jacket with a pretty cotton shirt underneath. A sweater, especially cashmere, is bound to look like a clash of fabrics, and might even fuzz all over your pants. Maybe you can elaborate a little more?
