A Big Splurge Wfefe In ashion Can Be Thrifty rom a Kindergarten Viewpoint Buffalo ModERN Evening News LIVING A 10 Saturday December 28 1974 By MARJI KUNZ Kniffht News Strvict DETROIT If your closet has the blahs it may be because you have brought too much mediocre stuff And the worst part is that you may have thought you were being ever so practical and thrifty along the way Typical is the woman who gasps at a $100 price tag and shrieks could never spend that much for In truth the woman may be spend ing much more than that amount for dribs and drabs that add up to next to nothing LOOK IN your closet Do you have five $30 dresses you could have lived without? If so you might have bought one spectacular $150 something a suede jacket to wear over everything for example that would do incredible things for your morale every time you wear it If you deal with clothes shopping as if you were managing a corporate budget likely to have a more interesting wardrobe even in a time of inflation how it works: Look through your check book and your charge card bills and figure out how much you usually spend for clothes during a given season Decide how much you can spend this season and then try to make your money count SOMETIMES SPLURGES are good investments Last year I bought a silver fox muffler which be considered a necessity in book I loved it still do even convinced that spectacu lar enough that nobody notices wearing it with old clothes And by the time you think of your fur muffler investment over a five year period (surely it will last that long) it costs less than a long gown which may not look right after a season or two But your touch of luxury' be fur It might be a jeweled evening hat that makes you feel like a si lent flick dolly Or some feathers to flutter with whatever evening clothes you wear winter or sum mer I promise you with the right feather boa tossed around your shoulders nobody is going to notice that your gown came from a discount store In the what will they think of next category the newest luxury is little feathered sleeves right sleeves No dress comes with them the brainchild of a young rench designer They come in soft ivory or black and run from about $100 for a pair of sleeves up to $185 for elaborate ones combining several kinds of feathers eathered sleeves were on the cover of the November issue of Vogue over bared pajamas 1 1 CREATIVE BUDGETING involves a few gambles like buying some of your evening basics when you see them on the sale rack An attractive satin ascot shirt (forever a basic) is no less so because you found it for $1250 on a half price sale rather than at $25 to $40 "in You may find the drop dead luxuries on sale racks too at less luxurious prices The only time you lose at sales on evening clothes is when you buy some never wear when it fit or was such a freakish fashion look that it never flattered 'anyone Mom May Have a Job But Kids Say Dad Works Harder ft ANTHONY BUGL JOETRIGILIO SCOTT MOREY JUDY RANK iiL yyy Xtv DAVID PARISI CHARLES DI MARCO' i i Jr Ufwllk Bi fl JE By SUE buyer including one boy whose father was on strike Call it or It seems or on pension or to be alive and well and living in the kindergarten It all surfaced during a survey made by a News reporter who questioned kindergarten pupils on the work that mother and father did work was work on the other hand was not work The pupils are in Mrs Irene kindergar ten class in School 81 on Tacoma Ave SOME THEM knew what their parents did at work some It depended to a large extent on the complexity of the job the conversation at home and whether the job is depicted on television programs The children of truck drivers and auto mechanics understood what their dad does better than do the children of insurance salesmen and accountants But something more surprising developed as the small group conversations went on Although a few boys admitted they really wanted to grow up to be firemen all agreed that it would be fine to grow up and hold a job like BUT SONS WORKING mothers were uniform ly upset when asked if like to have a job like when they grew up The girls were equally surprised at and opposed to the idea that they might some day have a job like their dad works with explained Judy rank want to do that I want to grow up like a With only two exceptions the youngsters insisted that their fathers worked harder than their mothers 4 LYNN DZIADASZEK TAMARA DAVIES 1 '4' One exception was Judy who believes dinner washing clothes and going out to the store is as hard as fixing The other child who thought his parents worked equally hard is the son of a baker and a waitress in the Great Gatsby DAD WORKS harder than my mother be cause his work is more Anthony Bugl commented mom washes the clothes but my dad works harder because his work is real He starts the car and goes to work
