Don't wear anything that doesn't fit. If your boobs, belly, or butt is hanging out, or if it looks like it's been painted on, it's too small. Swallow your pride and buy a larger size.
Shorts, miniskirts, jeans, sweats, and sneakers have no place in the office or at a house of worship.
Follow your company's dress code at work. When you start a new job, look around at what other women at the office are wearing, and take your cues from that.
Dress as comfortably as possible within these constraints. For example, no one is perfectly comfortable in a skirted suit with pantyhose and heels, but you don't need to wear 2" heels - if they make your feet hurt, wear flats.

I don't think I could ever attend a house of worship where wearing those things weren't the norm. YAY for big non-denomational churches, which usually have a "come as you are" kind of philosophy. As for work, looking nice is fine, but I wouldn't want to be employed anywhere you have to wear a dress, suit, or uniform.

Don't wear low rise jeans and/or cropped tops if you don't have the abs for it.

Carnation... somehow I doubt that you have those things in your wardrobe! You let your tummy hang out and don't wear a bra? You wear clothes with "bitch" written on it? I kinda doubt it! 
Although I agree with much of the advice on this thread, most of it applies to those in their 30's, 40', 50's and beyond.
You can be stylish at any age.

This all depends on the environment of your job/church. I'm very comfortable wearing jeans to church because it is the environment that has been set. It's not an every Sunday or church function occurance; however, i will wear jeans...

Jeans, shorts, sneakers, and flip flops are perfectly acceptable at my church... they are perfectly acceptable in most churches I've been in around here. (Granted, shorts on a Sunday morning is going too far.)
