skinny jeans, ankle length pants...black orchid...gerard darel...men's shirts and boyfriend sweaters.....and for work...think 60s Jackie Kennedy sheath dress...HIGH heels leather high heeled boots or "riding" boots

......did I mention that these are my daughters' clothes...not mine. I am in the St John time of life...with the pop in fun shoes and nice handbags

Patagonia sweaters, skinny jeans, and black high heeled boots (we call them her pirate boots, avast ye matey!) or brown riding boots have been the big trend at OSU this winter, according to OSU daughter.

The recent St. John ads with Kate Winslet would make me believe that they are trying to shift their age demographics downward, as a couple of "more mature shopper" stores like Talbots have tried to do.

Oh man, those Steve Madden slides. OH MAN.

I think St. John, like Talbots, would have a long battle to market to younger women successfully. With STJ a lot of it has to do with the price--it's even more than other "upscale" lines with a younger market, like Theory or Tory Burch. They have a pretty good niche going now, and they're still picking "establishment" younger celebs like Kate Winslet and AJ. They might be aiming for the 35-and-over demographic but they probably won't get much younger than that.

Hmm this is interesting for me, because it seems as if my university dresses a little bit more formally than others.

We definitely do gym wear if we are going to work out after class. If you have an early morning class, girls will wear a longer tunic-y shirt and/or a sorority pull-over in this type of style (http://adamblockdesign.com/abd/2012/...st-half-zip-2/), leggings, and riding boots.

During the fall, I would say it is generally a J-crew type t-shirt/blouse, jeans, and flats/sandals. Slouchy knit tops are also popular (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/soprano-...esultback=4407).

In the winter it is pretty much the same adding a boyfriend cardigan and exchanging flats/sandals to riding boots. Button up shirts are also popular. Northfaces definitely make an appearance. Uggs however might be worn like to the library at night or inside the house to study, but they aren't for trekking around campus during the daytime.

In the summer, simple sundresses and sandals are common (http://www.francescascollections.com...ortby=ourPicks). Also ruffled sleeveless tops, shorts/skirt and sandals. On a casual Saturday, maybe a sorority tank and shorts.
