Dear women over the age of 20

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.

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 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'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 :-(

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

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.



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.



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.
