..please stop wearing those juvinile "juicy," "princess," etc. t-shirts
..please do not wear anything with the words "bitch" on it
..please do not wear anything with the words "your boyfriend wants me," "i got your man," etc. i'll start to question your age.
..please do not wear shirts with curse words on them, period. it's disrectful.
..please do not show up to work with your boobies out all over the place
..please wear a bra if your breast cup size is over a 32B
..please stop wearing flip flops everywhere. they do not count as appropriate shoes. i've seen them with formal dresses and business suits; i've also seen them worn in all types of weather...gross.

But that's all I have in my wardrobe.

It's ok, because you're not in your 20's!

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.

REPEAT:

JUMPERS ARE NOT OK. DARTED, LACED, POLKA-DOTTED, WHATEVER.

THEY ARE NOT OK.

Re Crocs, the first place I saw them was in hospitals on the staff. I've got no problem with that, as they are supposed to be super comfy and those people are on their feet all day (and they do kinda go w/ the scrubs). But if you drive to work and proceed to sit at a desk all day, you do not need Crocs. I feel the same way about men wearing turtlenecks who aren't skiing - especially since most of them seem to have a ton o' chins.

Jumpers are not OK. Unless you're in a Barely Legal porno movie and they're mini-jumpers.

As heinous as some of the 80's flashback stuff is, I'd STILL take it over the layers of flannel shirts and knit caps or the all black "look at me, I'm a monk" look from the 90's any day.

I just saw Crocs for the first time yesterday, but fortunately.. they were on a group of kids younger than 8. I can't imagine anyone older than that wearing them unless you're cutting your lawn or weeding in the mud!

I am glad to see those pointy Wizard-of-Oz shoes gone. I love the riding boot look. There is a pair from Prada to die for. Got a spare grand? That's what they cost at Neiman's.

Ever worn a pair? Ever even tried on a pair? I think it's quite odd that you've never seen a pair on anyone older than 8. You should get out more.

Again, I don't give a shit what people think of crocs, thank you very much. I will still wear them every day to work and my feet will thank me.

I get out lots, thank you very much.

No, I've never tried a pair, because, personally, I think they're ugly. If you want to wear them, this is America.. you have the freedom to do so... just as Scandia has the freedom to wear jumpers if she wants to...and I have the freedom to wear those Prada riding boots once I take a second mortgage out on my house!

I'm so happy Tippiechick said something! While Crocs may not be pretty they are so freakin' comfortable!!! Can you wear them in every workplace? No! But if you need to run an errand or you can wear them to work, go for it!! Next to my Rainbows they are the most comfortable shoes I own. Granted they are ugly as sin but when I worked retail I can't tell you how great it was that Crocs were covered under our dresscode!
