Dear women over the age of 20

Yeah, grad school was awesome like that, septum piercing and all, no one cared. Any chemistry job I've looked at, though was "business casual (jeans on fridays!)" I still have the septum piercing, but I don't wear so it shows at work, obviously.
Yeah, I figure I will need to tone it down when I get a "real job". Hence, I'm getting the pink hair out of the system now ;-)0 -
I really don't think 20 should be the cut-off. Seriously? I'm 23 and in college. If I dressed the way you described, well... *shudders* I want to look my age, and I refuse to give up my Hello Kitty until I'm 30. Maybe if I land a professional job after college I'll consider dressing sharper, but cheap and fashionable just makes sense right now. I do agree about the crappy quality of junior clothes though.0

Now I see why the OP was hating.I'll play since I started it. But does Old Navy count as juniors? Cause yeah, I shop there a lot and buy cheap clothes. I'm a huge hypocrite. I also already apologized for those who missed it.
Old Navy sweater, $24 "mom" jeans from JC Penney:
Old Navy dress w/ used Nine West boots:
Walgreens dress, seriously.
Walmart sweater, JC Penny pants:
Old Navy tank, Kohl's shorts:
Kohls dress, Banana Republic jacket (I have the whole suit).
Mom haircut - Check.
Mom clothes - Check.
Mom jeans - Check. The saggy knee look works on no one.
Bermuda shorts - Check. Seriously, just no.
Yea, I'm gonna stick to the junior's section. Maybe when I'm 40, I'll dress like I'm 40. But while I'm in my 20s....not so much.
Wow. That's way meaner than anything I've said. Thanks. I wasn't hating on anyone. I happen to like how I dress. I AM a mom. I'm 32. I work in an office. I also like short hair.0 -

The only thing you are wearing that I would even consider wearing is the blue dress and that is still a "Maybe" personally it's not my style at all. I like my jeans to snug my butt, simply because I already don't have much a butt so I feel like if its baggy it's not gonna flatter me at all. I've worked hard and still working hard on my body. If you feel comfy in the misses department go right on and wear it, but I'm gonna stick with the Jr. Department...
The other person who posted photo's of the clothes she bought from I think Macy's? None of what you posted I would even consider wearing. Very frumpy looking for my taste. Again to each their own, I'm not going to tell you that you should wear something else though, because evidently it's not your taste. Just as no one should tell anyone else what they should wear, let us wear what we want, there should be no judging on either end. I don't judge a 300lb woman for wearing a bikini, I'm 134lbs and I still won't wear one in public and when I see a woman who is 300lbs in a bikini I don't think "Oh she shouldn't wear that" I think "I wish I had the confidence to wear a bikini." I'm working on it but everyone is different.0 -

I could never show up to work in those clothes. My boss would tear them off me and redress me herself. She'd ask me why I thought it was ok to show up for work as though I'd given up on fashion when fashion is my job. Did I WANT to be mistaken for a Jehovah's Witness*?
*I can say that cause I put in my 20 years of servitude.
ETA: you can find mature and classic clothing in the juniors section, just like you can find innappropriate frump clothing in the juniors section, and you could probably find hip trendy things in the misses/women's department as well as da frump. people have personal preferences and other people dont like that. They want everyone to have the same personal preferences that they do.0 -

My only real regret in life is not getting a mohawk before I had to get a real job. Seriously, I would've looked like Wendy O' Williams, two feet of hair to hawk!0 -
short shirts, those are just out of style (thankfully).
Well *kitten*, I wore this last weekend. Yeah, I bought it from the Jr section lol
please pardon the hair it was a wee bit windy which did nothing for my pixie cut lol
Super cute...but are those Vibrams? For sharme!
I'm surprised that you would compliment her on her look, as I recall baggy knees on jeans don't look good on anyone and qualify said jeans as "mom jeans."0 -

I would LOVE a mo-hawk but settle for my faux-hawk (in my profile picture right now) because my husband would die if I shaved my head lol.0 -
Meh... I might agree if all that came out of the jr. section were shorts/pants that had some words on the butt (not my thing... used to be, but not anymore) or were bedazzled the hell out of it... But there are some cute appropriate things in the Jr. department... and there are people like me, who are built in such a way, that making it "shorter" doesn't automatically make it "flattering"... so as long as it flatters and it's comfortable... why does it matter which department it comes out of... Personally, I can't wait until I can fit into jr. clothing again so I have a broader choice of styles and cuts that don't make me look like a beached whale or that my boobs hang too low because I'm not wearing a playtex 18-hour granny bra... I'm short, I'm small framed, and short waisted (when I place my finger inbetween my hips and my ribs they touch both at the same time without moving)... I would like to look it... and sometimes the petite section just doesn't cut it.
There are only so many empire waisted blouses and dresses a short girl can wear, before going crazy.
Now, I'm going to print off this thread and place it where I can see it so I have motivation to get my fat butt moving again.0 -

...Yah that was kinda mean!0 -
Please stop shopping in the juniors department. The clothes are cheapy made. They are made to fit the bodies of teenagers (children). They run small so you can probably go down a size by moving up into "grown up" clothes. And yeah, they are made for teenagers. I don't believe you need to dress "your age" but there is a certain something special about dressing in a sophisticated manner.
agreed completely! drives me crazy when i see 30 year olds in juniors.
OBSESSED with those boots! sorry off topic but you look amazing...from the Juniors' section! :happy:
go ahead, have a heart attack

There's no less "bag" on the knees of your jeans in your picture than there is on Rae's. Look at your knees, look at her knees, same "bag." I'm not hating on your jeans, I'm just pointing out that the point she was making was inconsistent.0 -

I'd like to know where you people find jeans that don't bag at the knee when standing but still allow you to sit and walk. Those are some magic jeans.0 -
Heidi Klum is about the only woman I see wear junior's style clothing and she can work it. The rest just look stupid.
Bummer, I guess I look stupid on a regular basis.
Me too.
I guess all those people who tell me how great I look when I'm dressed up are really saying "You look like an idiot".
We can all look fabulously stupid. But at least we're fabulous?? Ok..I'm working towards my former fabulous self.0 -

Where I get mine they also sell some produce, I've seen mushrooms and herbs . . .0 -
See like I said, *****es be crazy. OP even apologized for her OP....then some whack biznatch has to come and completely tear her look apart. Disgusting.
OP you're very young at 32! Stop trying to age yourself. You are young! Rock it while you can! You won't be forever! You're cute too and your clothes are fine!0 -

I'll play since I started it. But does Old Navy count as juniors? Cause yeah, I shop there a lot and buy cheap clothes. I'm a huge hypocrite. I also already apologized for those who missed it.
Just FYI, I think you look just fine. And your haircut is cute.

Yes, but you're running around dictating to everyone that they should shop in the section that YOU shop in, and that the section YOU shop in is not frumpy.

Sorry, but to many, many people that's frumpy.
If you didn't want anyone to criticize you, maybe you shouldn't have criticized an entire group of people first. Karma sucks.0 -

I too kept mine long because of a boy who prefered it (who is now my husband), and like I said, it's one of my only real regrets in this life. I say hawk it. It'll grow back.
ETA: Ok, I'm done living vicariously through your hair. Do what you want with it.0 -

I didn't criticize anyone. I asked people to stop shopping in the juniors section. I then apologized that my suggestion was taken as an insult as I didn't mean it that way.0 -

Sorry, I still shop in the juniors department. I'm 5'2'' AND short waisted, with narrow hips, so when I shop in the "ladies'" department, my crotch looks weird in pants.
I am all of the above except I do have hips and I still have the same problems in the "ladies" department!!! By the way love your Painting with a Twist pic!!0 -
