    Now I see why the OP was hating.

    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. You're a peach. Way to be really nasty to someone who tried to start a funny thread and who apologized like an adult for offending anyone.
    And then after apologizing, continued to rag on women shopping in the junior's section* Fix'd it.

    And there was nothing funny about the thread. Like....at all.

    Show me where I "continued to rag". And by short shirts I thought she was referring to those awful T-shirts from the 90s that barely hit the top of high waisted pants (and never did on me because I'm tall) not shirts that were actually mean to show mid-riff.

    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

    400492_3516571953566_1272034782_n.jpg

    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."

    Also, I'm still confused on this. These knees are just as baggy as my jeans in the knees. Mine are just a solid color.

    ETA: I like these jeans but I try to avoid fadding like that because it seems to draw attention to my larger quads.

    Hmm...I would much rather see a woman wearing a cute shirt than a polyester bell sleeved floral top.

    Oh they still have those... my mother and mother in law HATE them... they can never find shirts that don't turn into shrinky dink mid-riff shirts after only one or two washings.

    Wow. So much sensitivity. Rae looks great and she obviously didn't realise this was going to be such a controversial topic. Shop where you want.

    It's funny... I never shopped in juniors because I was usually too big. So I wouldn't even think of going anywhere near the department even if I COULD fit in the clothes. :) How many sequined leopard tops does one need? :)

    However, I only recently discovered Forever 21 and realized that I could get a cute summer dress for $20.00... so, shop where you like! :)

    Also, I'm not at all surprised that my outfits got critiqued. I don't really like many of the junior outfits posted. The difference was I kept my negative thoughts in my head (or in PMs or on my proflie). I just thought it was only fair that I open myself up to comments like the other ladies did. I still prefer my style to the junior styles presented. Although I might take some suggestions into consideration. I do think some fun chunky jewelry or shoes (although you can't see my shoes in many) would add a lot. I actually make jewelry but sadly in the 2 years of his life, my baby has broken most of my pieces.

    I've actually tried there for dresses this summer. The waists are SUPER high on my (I'm 5'9"). I have this problem with Misses too. I love that some places have started making tops for tall women instead of just pants.

    I hope you didn't take what I said as rude because that was not what I meant at all by what I said, I was just stating that for me your style is not my style, if what you wear makes you feel good about yourself then more power to you, just as if for me shopping in the junior's department makes me feel good then why should you or anyone else tell me not to shop there? Because I'm 30? It's my style, no I do not go out of my way to find obnoxious flashy things there, I mainly look for stripes like I said before, just something I enjoy wearing now.

    I'm guessing my large quads are what make these jeans bag at the knees. It never crossed my mind that this fading could emphasize them. I don't mind if they do, I am proud of my muscular quads.

    I'm 4'11 and my body is straight-up-and-down, so women's clothes don't fit me! Plus, people still say I look sixteen years old (I'm 29) so I can get away with wearing teen clothes LOL. When I "dress my age" I look like a little kid playing dress-up with Mommy's clothes, NOT flattering. :o)

    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.

    Hah I'm with you there. This is probably a body shape question. I have big thigh muscle and big calf muscle and bony knees. Even stretchy material bags or folds a bit on my knees! I had to give up skinny jeans because I can't fit my calves into them :-(

    I like mine too. This avoidance might be a remnant of a time when I still really disliked my legs (which was sadly most of my life). I've been working hard to embrace them these days.

    No, your comments were fine.

    And yes, I did notice you like strips! LOL. They remind me of old rugby jersey's however (I used to play).

    Yes! All my jeans have some kind of baggy knee situation. Thunder thigh girls unite!

    The worst thing about big calves is having to shell out extra money for wide calf winter boots :(

    I can only fit into boots at my thinnest. But I also have big feet. I bet the calves are wider with bigger sizes.

    lawlz to this thread. We should all just agree to disagree on fashion.

    Wow I'm not reading 18 pages.

    I shop in Junior sometimes (and I'm a 6'1" dude).
    A) It's Cheaper
    B) Men's Smalls are too short
    C) Men's Mediums are too wide

    The jr dept at kohl's/Penney's has a lot of long tank tops on sale right now.

    Wow. So much sensitivity. Rae looks great and she obviously didn't realise this was going to be such a controversial topic. Shop where you want.

    ^^^ This... and she did apologize... takes a wonderful person to do that and realize her post might have been offensive!

    I like Rae's style, too. It's more classic than I typically dress, because I'm tacky, but classic doesn't mean frumpy.

    Today's outfit is from the misses' department of Kohls. Don't mind my hair. It was still wet and a total disaster. The top is about 3-4 years old and kind of a loud 70s couch pattern, but that's what I liked about it. I don't think I look like I'm going to bingo.

    IMG_5029.jpg

    My problem, though, is that even though the shorts are supposed to be mid-rise and modern fit, I have The Case of the Missing Belly Button.

    IMG_5030.jpg

    That happens with most misses' pants, shorts and jeans. But I can't wear most juniors' shorts because my thighs are way too meaty. It's no biggie, since I tend to not wear shirts that expose my midriff anyway. I'm not too old for juniors. I'm not too old for Hello Kitty. I'm not to old for micro minis. But I do draw the line at wearing, as they call it on What Not To Wear, a "skin belt."

    Ok on other people, though.

    Wow Lorina those are really bad. My Kohls shorts fit so much better on that the me. You ARE short torso-ed. Mine are "classic" fit though.

    :laugh: As long as the waistband is covered, I don't mind them. They fit better when I bought them two months ago, but I've shrunk a little since then. They might have been called "classic fit." I don't remember. I know they were supposed to hit right below the waist.

    Hip huggers fits me as a normal low rise, but I risk plumber's crack. Low rise fits me like mid-rise should. Mid rise hits me right at the waist. High-waisted practically touches the bottom of my bra!
