Sally suggests Wardrobe Resolutions by Barbf!ra Field N EW YEAR, new styles, new clot~es new colors--Be a new person w1th the new year-a chic Miss 1939. Write down your resolutions or say them to yourself, but be firm. Enjoy winter sports! is resolu-tion number one. Enjoy them twice as much because you know you can look attractive and still be warmly dressed. Functionalism is now as important in our clothing as in our household fumishings. One piece flannel skating dresses in pastels and whites rival the up to the minute two piece skating suits. There are oodles of practical sweaters and skirts that look well and are protective from the winter weather. Knitted peaked caps tie under the chin keeping a great portion of the head warm. These may be matched in color-ful mittens. Smart for shopping or class-wear are the checked tweed jacket suits with full swing skirts. You can wear them skating right after school. Pastel angora baby sweaters worn with circular flannel skirts in con-trast cut a pretty figure on the ice. Double breasted ski jackets are in bell hop or hip length. And the ma-terials for warmth and good service are tweed, windproof cotton, and gabardine. Resolution number two . . . About hats and more hats. Try on a Polish Peasant hat. There are many sewn braids-fine and coarse. Jersey and striped ribbons appear in whole hats and as decoration. Veiling is used as a hat fabric. There is a new blending of color. A new double brim that obviates a bandeau is shown. These brims follow the same line in front but separate at the back, one taking the place of the rubber and holding the hat to the head by going under the edge of the hair. Reappearing is the sugarloaf Directoire poke bonnet. Paris favors new hat colors in grain yellows, blues and fuchias. Hats come in many materials this season. It is easier now to get just the right thing to go with the right coat, dress or accessories. There are lacy, dressy effects in the rustic braids. Sur-rah, faille, taffeta, moire, felts, mat taf-feta and novelty ribbons are a few of the fabrics shown ... many of them in stripes. Number three ... To look love-ly in the evening. The Iowa Homemaker The crisp taffeta evening gown with bursts of fullness from tucks and gathers in the front of the skirt in the darker shade ... the bodice of the lighter shade is featuring. Another idea is a gray bouffant skirt of gunmetallame with fit-ted bodice of emerald green crepe. Or you might be saucy in a blazer striped jacket in wine on white accompanying a full gray satin skirt. If you are interest-ed in a slender frock, it might be done in gray crepe. If you prefer the demure feminity of the full skirt another suggestion would be gray slipper satin with self ruches. Glitteringly bright, gay and effective is the white rhinestone studded evening dress. Net in an evening picture dress is listed among the best sellers. Bunny jackets are not sufficient unto themselves anymore. They call for a matching muff. Rivaling the bunny jacket and the classic black velvet are the new, smart, and practical untrimmed tweed wraps in bright shades. New Year's resolution number four: I resolve to make use of the new colors. Flame red rivals rosy tints and ger-anium. The warm new blond tobacco follows the trend toward jonquil yellow and shocking pink. The old standbys-black and navy-are smarter than ever and more important to your wardrobe. Gray is in an abundance of textures and a variety of finishes. In other words, use quantities of gray. Resolution five: To consider sweaters, jewelry and boudoir slippers. Pendant necklaces come in sets such as the flower cluster and bangle jewelry. Pearls in single strands and many rows date back to the popular Victorian brooches. American women buy millions of sweaters each year. No wonder the manufacturers make such a variety for every need. Soft and attractive in many colors are the styles you love so much .. . . . cardigans, slip-ons, golfers, cloud puff pull- ons of French angora, gros-grain banded cardigans, and half wool-half angoras. Your boudoir will be very attractive indeed if, while you are in it, you will wear quilted velvet rayon mules with fur wings, chiffon satin olmpiads, or soft satin platforms with padded soles. General keeping up to the min-ute on clothes is a pretty big order, but that's resolution number six. Coats are more important than suits. They are tightly fitted or straight and loose, sometimes with a full back. If in black the lining is found to be a bright contrast. There are red print dresses to wear under black coats. Embroidery and black persian lamb trim are featured on the big sleeved coats. Ultra smart for the college girl is the hooded sport coat in untrimmed tweed. Jackets in waistline length go with pleated skirts. Wool chenille basque jackets find gay trim in metal and wool embroidery. Fur jackets still feature chunky sleeves. Quilted kid jackets do double duty for evening and daytime. More best sellers are print top dresses with boleros, tailored prints, paisley, monoastic, all over pleating, and puck-ered and shirred crepes. Hair shows softer and more becoming lines in back with a waterfall coiffure topped by black velvet and a white gardenia. 7
