*No "mom jeans", you're not 50. (yes I've seen mom jeans on women my age)
*None of those "Mrs. Pitt/Kutcher/Timberlake" items! *Sweaters or clothing with cute animals on them (you know, the ones like your kindergarten teacher would wear). *Clear plastic stripper heels. *SANDALS WITH SOCKS=NO. *See through is for lingerie ladies. *Bikini tops when you are not at a beach/outdoor type party function. *Underwear are called UNDERwear for a reason. No one wants to see them. *Midriff can be done in a cute and tasteful way, but it is for BARS/CLUBS ONLY. *YOU are in you 20's. By now, you KNOW if your belly is not one that needs to be shown. Please spare our eyes and keep it covered if you have enough rolls to open a bakery. *By now, you also know if your body is one that looks good in low rise jeans. If it doesn't, please refrain from wearing them in public. *Unless you are pregnant, NO OVERALLS. *No Mary Janes. *No elastic waist shorts or skirts unless you are pregnant. *Keep your nails simple, a SINGLE color of polish or preferably a French manicure. |

Really. I think people can by stylish wearing hush puppies. I believe they should only be worn with pants, and it all depends on the cut of the pant. |

It depends on the Hush Puppy, too...they're not ALL your Grandma's shoes: http://z.about.com/d/shoes/1/0/D/3/h...pies_shoes.jpg http://i.shoebuy.com/pi/wolve/wolve144727_78412_lg.jpg http://www.shoes.com/productimages/SHOES_IS48460.JPG http://www.zappos.com/images/720/720...4-130789-d.jpg |

Somebody wore sandals with socks to work once or twice. However, she is from a foreign country. I have heard the stereotype about people in various countries (including that one) wearing sandals with socks. Quote:

AlphaFrog, I did not like a single one of those Hush Puppies.

That's because a) You're picky b) they all cost less then $150 |
a) nothing wrong with being picky
b) I do have some shoes that are under $150 |

This is what I think of when I hear jumper: http://www.commonsensepatterns.com/i...T%20Jumper.jpg No one over the age of like 6 should be wearing these. They have not been in style in a long, long time. Who makes jumpsuits???? I haven't seen overalls on anybody but window washers the past few years. Oh, wait, and Jessica Simpson when she's being a scrub. They look even worse on her because of her boobs. All of the above things that I mentioned frighten me. |
Jumper is British slang for sweater. I'm hoping that Scandia is part British and that was what she meant by jumper, because that word brings back bad memories of Jew camp and synagogue.

Re Charlotte Russe, they do have some things that are suitable for non-club wear if you 1) dig 2) wear THE CORRECT SIZE. I have an adorable sweater from there that I've worn to work.
Re church: it all depends on the makeup of the congregation/community. When everyone was working on farms and in mines, they got dressed up in "Sunday best" - suits, ties, dresses and hose. But nowadays when more people have white collar jobs - that's what you wear every day. There's nothing "special" about it. I think that accounts for the more relaxed dress in churches in general. However, the only person who should have a bare midriff in church is Baby Jesus. :) |

Regarding jumpers: the denim one I bought at The Gap back in the late 90s, and it has darts to fit the hourglass figure of an adult. I have seen many other grown-up women wearing it. In fact, a fellow teacher at a school where I taught was wearing a similar one once. It is notthing like the one in the picture- now that one is cut for little girls. This one allows plenty of room for curves and for showing off a slim waist.
And I did get the cute sandals- but my church's AC is powerful and I do sniffle. I will wear them for special occassions. Regarding jumpsuits- HOPEFULLY they went away with the 80s. Bad memories of having had to wear them. I did see overalls in my APO female brothers back in the 90s. But in this millenium, I have only seen them on little boys. And that is a good thing. |

I too had such a jumper, in a really nice plaid. It was cute and in style in 1995 or 1996 when I bought it. No matter how it is cut, JUMPERS should NOT be worn. They are so horrible out of style it's not even funny. And a DENIM jumper???? I know a lot of teachers who dress very, very badly. Actually, I do remember a lot of teachers wearing rather unflattering jumpers... it was like a teacher's uniform or something. |

The only cartoonish shirt appropriate for twentysomethings... |
Well, I have read in more than one current fashion magazine that jumpers are coming back to style. And I do have a plaid dirndl style jumper (with darts, of course) that my mother made for me that I sometimes wear- but never to work on a weekday.
I did get rid of most of my other jumpers when I became a professional. I only kept those two. In my secondary school, everyone talked about which teachers dressed badly and which teachers had wardrobes you wanted to raid. |

Probably the same ones that are pushing leggings. |

Particularly ones made out of denim. And plaid anything hasn't been in style for quite awhile. |

The last person to pull off plaid is now pregnant with Child #2. <Insert "Oops She Did It Again" joke here.> |

They were not plaid or denim. It was a solid black jumper that was shown.
I think it was the InStyle magazine. The fashion edition IIRC. I'll look it up tomorrow at work. |

Also, I won't lie. I wear flip-flops everywhere. Yes, even to work. In fact, I'm wearing a pair now. |

Denim jumpers make me think of a good TV show, though. http://www.jimbob.info/images/2002family__duggar.jpg |

I'm calling BS on InStyle...I just went to their website, and they show this coming back in style:
