I've recently been exploring my options in the job market and have had a couple of interviews, it's been a stretch to find anything left in my wardrobe that is appropriate for interviewing and I realize that I'll have to invest in some new clothes if I do find another job.
I'm actually kind of excited about that idea. I'm 40+ and lately have been missing wearing nylons, skirts and dresses. Maybe I'm just looking to feel more feminine, or maybe because when I was younger that's how we dressed. I never once saw my mother or grandmother in jeans now that I think about it.

I can totally relate. I was home for more than 5 years after my daughter was born and last winter-spring I had a few day care kids at home as well, so there was practically nothing in the wardrobe when I started in the office (out of home!) in June. Still it's very casual there though.
And I got to make a trip abroad this autumn. I don't fancy nylons, but I got the chance to wear a mini (denim) skirt, leggings and long boots.
I remember, when I was 22-23 (in early 90's) and a colleague over 30 said her little sister (around 18) had told her women over 30 should not wear jeans at all. That was then.
I've recently enjoyed wearing very narrow leg jeans. They are fortunately quite flexible.
