Don't carry your wallet in a picnic basket. Wfiife these square weave baskets enjoyed a popular run in the preppy days, they look outdated arid frumpy in 1994. 1 LOOKING AHEAD 4ii- What is considered "casual attire?" 1 4uti never sure what is expected when an invitation calls for casual. The kind of event, the place and time are all things to take into consideration when choosing what to wear, of course. Factoring, all that in, if the invitation calls for casual attire, Palm Beach Post society columnist -Thorn Smith says: For men, a jacket is OK but optional.

Sport shirts and polo shirts are fine. And if you feel like it, ties are acceptr able. For women, slacks, cocktail dresses JM and pant suits are fine. Stay away from shorts, sequins and tiaras. By CHRISTINE KEATING Palm Beach Post Fashion Editor Pro golfer Deborah McHaffie turned a clubhouse faux pas into a fashion statement.

McHaffie, who once thought golf was for "old men who tool around in little carts," showed up for her first tournament seven years ago in street clothes. She stuck out like a fluorescent buoy in a sea of white shorts and pastel polo tops. "I just wore what I had in my closet. I wasn't interested in wearing golf clothes, so I didn't," McHaffie, 35, was just concerned with being myself." Her self a former fourth-grade teacher who didn't sink a putt until she was 23 has been seen on the green wearing leopard and lace bike shorts, chunky earrings and a granny type of golf boots. "The people who made (the boots) laughed when I asked for them," McHaffie said.

"Then after the first week I wore them, they got about 500 calls from people who wanted a pair." McHaffie has been in the Ladies Professional Golf Association seven years and is ranked about 80th pretty good for someone who wasn't weaned on a 3-wood. She has a fan club whose members call themselves the McHaffie Marauders. They travel to most tournaments wearing her face on their shirts. "The bottom line to this whole thing is, I try to dress to be myself, to be comfortable," she said. "It wasn't a plan to change the tour." But the women's golf tour has changed in the past decade at least the look of it.

Beverley Willey, an LPGA image consultant agrees, and said McHaffie has helped open the closet doors of women's golf fashions a little wider. "The look has become more relaxed, and some of the girls are even shopping outside of the pro shops," Willey said. "She (McHaffie) is a trendsetter."

However; 1 I'll take the risk by saying that during a recent trip to Stein Mart west of Boca Raton I saw a nice collection of cocktailprom dresses at discounted prices. Same goes fox, Loehmann's. And every major departments store will have a selection of party dresses year-round. Check out a secondhand store for something different maybe vintage -glamorous.
