All bets are off in Vegas and for bachelorette parties. But REMEMBER those outfits are not ok for job interviews.

Don't wear dark lipliner w/ pale lipstick.

Don't wear brands you can't pronounce.

Don't wear giant hoop earrings the size of doorknockers that have your name in them.
Don't get fake nails so long that you can't push elevator buttons or find anything in your purse with them.
Don't wear shirts that say "Mrs. Pitt" or "Kisser of the Month."
Don't wear those Chinese beaded slippers. House slippers are meant to be worn inside the house.

I completely disagree with this one. I have several pairs and I love them. They are so comfortable, and they don't have soles like regular house slippers do, they are just like wearing flip flops.

Don't wear ultra low rise jeans.

Don't wear tops that drapes down towards the tummy and shows cleavage. This is a must for people with degrees. (On that note, did any of y'all see that episode of What Not to Wear with Jennifer last week? She wore a top that is black and she showed a lot of cleavage. And the woman has a master's degree in child development and graduated magna cum laude)

Huh, I don't get what one has to do with the other?

Nothing wrong with showing some cleavage, as long as it's an appropriate time and place and looks okay.

- Don't wear T-shirts that say "Porn Star" or "Boys are stupid" or "Spoiled brat".
- Don't wear flip-flops 24/7 or to every single place. They are fine for the beach or the pool, but they are NOT for work or the house of worship.
- Don't wear halter/strapless stuff everywhere either. Again- they are fine for a picnic or for a house party, but I do not want to see them at church or at my job no matter how scorchingly hot the weather is.
- Don't try to fit size 8 feet into size 5 shoes. Pointy shoes will only cause damage to your feet. Backless shoes can be a safety hazard in some places. It is not necessary to wear 4-inch heels at most jobs: not to mention they can be a safety hazard as well.
- And of course, if you cannot breathe inside something, it is way too tight. We do not want to see every one of your bulges and joints.

There is nothing wrong with showing clevage, but Jennifer on WNTW was a DD, I think. And on her before outfit for night clubbing, she wore a top that her boobs wanted to pop out.

If you're large chested, don't wear tops that have makes your boobs want to pop out.

I wear ultra low rise jeans, sometimes wear black shirts that show cleavage, and I have a J.D. and graduated summa cum laude. Does having an advanced degree mean that there's no room for fashionable jeans, black shirts, and boobs any more? Because that's not the life for me, I tell you.

Didn't you get that memo when you graduated? As soon as you have an advanced degree, you need to wear mom jeans/"slacks" and cover all cleavege and signs of skin. It is inappropriate. Heaven knows the world cannot handle smart women who look good.

Maybe you can bring back those penny loafers with heels. But thats where the line is drawn.

I've decided that those two on "What Not to Wear" need another line of work....nothing wrong with showing cleavage if you've got it.

Personally I think they're tacky and definitely don't look as nice as flip flops.
