On Chemo Day you must decide what to wear. There is no dress code but think again. My
choice might be something like this: Khakis, (business casual or chemo casual) black
linen shirt jacket over black cami (layers are good) black ballet flats (signals
a causal but stylish insouciance) and a “good” necklace--black pearls inserted
among silver waves. This is the gift from John: subtle, stylish and coordinated.
Hospitals, doctor’s offices and yes, at Chemo. Looking good
makes a difference. Leave the sweat pants and the polyester at home. Go for
neutrals, polish and natural fibers. (There are enough chemicals in this cancer
life for everyone.)
Diana Vreeland, legendary editor of Vogue wrote, “The one
presenting the most style has the most power.”
In this powerless situation, style is a consolation.
