How Acceptable Is It For A Grown Adult...

If I'm in the mood for a 20 dollar dress, I'll hit up a juniors store once in awhile. For the sake of fit, I think we have to be a LITTLE careful. It doesn't all work, but if you like it-obviously that's fine. Wear it. For the sake of style, I try to pair the juniors item with more adult pieces, well made leather shoes, bags, jackets, cardigans,etc.

<~ Shops junior department because she can! Big deal .. really, it is cheaper
and more fun. I like the options as opposed to dressing in what I revear as
dull for me. Seriously, they cater to some/ladies Dept's/stores as either just
slacks and blouses or bland t-shirts and jeans that cost more. Also the
youngish apparel reflects my persona better. Call me immature .. ;p

A big thing for me is feel and texture. Most of the juniors stuff is polyester. I like silk, leather, cashmere, cotton, wool...polyester sometimes.

There's that too ..I appreciate such couture but as I'm not
even in my final stages .. inexpensive for me. Once I get
to my finish line, my wardrobe will be a blend.

I am definitely going to be what my husband refers to as a teenage granny. Wear what you want. Well, you know, as long as it won't get you arrested. Unless you're into that...:indifferent:

I go there all the time. Lots of Doctor Who stuff.

Hello fellow whovian!

And how is it your business? I'm almost 42 and I still wear the hell out of cargo shorts and flip flops. If someone doesn't like it then they can avert their eyes

That's pretty much my husbands summer uniform. Nothing wrong with it.

Someone's mad that those clothes don't look good on them.

As a grown adult I reserve the right to shop for clothes in any store that actually carries clothing that fits my giraffe body.

Banana Republic has a pretty good (but small) petite section. I like their clothes. I get jeans, other pants, shorts, dresses. I know people complain they do some vanity sizing, but they do sell a size 00p (and that fits me great). I buy fitted cotton/spandex t-shirts from bluenotes because they are small and not too long (I also get knit tops there). I shop for blouses at H&M. I shop at American Eagle, those clothes fit me great. Lululemon has sweatshirts and jackets that are small enough in the waist, and fit well. I also shop at Asian stores which run very small, so it's much easier to find just about anything I need in a size that will fit me. But, in general many of the mainstream stores run too big, and the clothing does not fit right. Sometimes juniors sizes are not shaped curvy enough between the waist and hips. Finding a tailored jacket that fits my body is a big challenge. But, there is also taking things to a tailor. Some of the more expensive stores run small, but I am not a big spender on clothing. Most stores do not go smaller than a size two, and that is usually too big these days.
