Last night my daughter told me that panty hose are out of style and lo and behold in today's fashion hidelines the statement appeared as fact.

Thanks to "Sex and the City" and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, you're behind the times if you do wear them.

They have their advantages and disadvantages. One must consider that these very women who started this trend are ones who are picked up and dropped off right at the entrances of their destinations. No one is going to think I'm fashionable if I go sans hose in our climate. They'll simply look at me and think, "that woman must be freezing to death."

I think I'll keep my tights and panty hose except in the summer when you can get away with this. I'll risk being "behind the times."
