Please add to the Undignified List: Unicorn-print Vans. I'm technically twice as old as I need to be to get a free pass on these, but they make me so happy, and they seem to put a smile on the faces of all my friends and also random passersby.

I tried to embed a photo of the unicorn sneaks in the post, but I am too confused about the "new rules," plus I've never been an HTML whiz.

Here's the pic in old-school link format:

Everyone should own at least one sailor suit. They're delightful

I'm in complete agreement with MSN's list except for the cleavage one. A little bit of boob never hurt anybody.

Reading that list is painful. I'm a pretty dull/conservative dresser - lots of dark colors, simple and classic pieces - but even I find their guidelines boring and restrictive. Clothes should be fun!

I used to wear really crazy clothes when I was in school, but got very conservative once I graduated from college. I had an epiphany a little while ago that I should dress "fun" again. I'm in the progress of replacing all my plain t-shirts and jeans/slacks with vintage threads. Luckily, I know how to do vintage a little better now than I did in high school (i.e. no big collared thick polyester lime green shirts).

I have a pretty big hat, and it is lovely, and it looks good, but I am not brave enough to wear it in public. I need to get over this fear.

@cate3710: I wore a big hat with sunglasses to an art fair, and all the poor artists thought I was a rich heiress and showered me with brochures for their galleries. I totally recommend wearing outlandish hats.

Man, I read everything in Google Reader and now almost all of the images from Jez don't show up. Instead, I get "The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser." Is this a bug?

Heh. I read the headline as "7 Completely Undignified Every Woman Should Wear AT Once". I was like, hmmm, that's a lot of undignified. And how do you wear a hat and a beehive at the SAME TIME??

TGIF and I don't have to use my brain for a few days.

Can't show cleavage, MSN? Eh, no, sorry, but my girls have a mind of their own, you tell them to stop popping out like that.

And how DARE they tell me not to wear glitter and sequins at 22, I'm still in my club going years, let me still have the opportunity to look like I invaded the crafts aisle in Hobby Lobby.

@thequeenofstartingover: So, basically MSN thinks you should not wear anything fun after 19. Great, I may be 28, but I'm not dead. And pretty much all of the celebrities wearing what not to wear looked great!

@thequeenofstartingover: As long as I love my tits, I shall show them to the world. Sorry, but them's the breaks. Also, I don't think teens should be showing cleavage. That's an adult thing.

That article was ridiculous. No heels? Floral prints? I may as well buy some beige orthopedic shoes and book my room at the assisted living place now.

@vulcanized: Thank you. The article is ridiculous, almost imply that if you're not dressed like a Victorian socialite from the neck down you are past your prime...pfft. And with you on the assisted living place, but I'll do like my grandma and wear bright colored mumu's and wear wide colorful church hats.

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Agree. The celebrity photos kind of made their argument weak. I mean, all those women (yes, even Pam A.) looked good in their outfits. But according to MSN, I guess since we are in our 20's we should make out our wills and call AARP up, time is ticking...

Do any hat-wearing Jezzies have hat advice? Is there a trick to picking something flattering for your face shape? I am short and always look like a 12 year old boy when I try on hats so I never buy but I think they're so great! :(

@pear.shaped.Sara: Try a cloche or a beret- hats with brims make you look shorter.

@pear.shaped.Sara:
Notes, as usual, has excellent suggestions in terms of shape re: height.
In terms of color, you may want to think about putting on a monochromatic outfit and then using contrasting brights for your hat, or bright ornaments on an outfit-matching hat, to draw the eye upward.

(I am of medium height, but as you can probably tell, a hat-wearing fool.)

rose was consistently the best dressed golden girl. blanche comes in second and dorothy and sophia tied for third. i still wonder what the costume designer had against bea arthur - she could have worn so many fabulous things just due to her height alone and instead they stuck her in odd capes and caftans and weird boots.
