Dress your age, ladies!

I've been wanting to do a post about this for ages. I cannot stand it when women dress inappropriately. 

There are a few things that bug me when it comes to fashion faux pas and two biggies are: 

a) women who think that leggings/tights are trousers - THEY ARE NOT! This is an entire blog post on its own

b) Women who dress like they're 20 when they're actually 30 

In our 20s we are young and we experiment. We can be forgiven for dressing badly because we're still finding ourselves and our style. Oh gosh, when I look at pictures of my varsity years, I cringe. But by my late 20s, I developed a style of my own. One thing that's very important to remember is that it's not proper to dress a decade younger than what you are and it's really not becoming - people laugh at these women, maybe not to their faces, but they do. I can guarantee that you will look 100% better, prettier and more gorgeous when you dress closer to your age and your body type. 

                                                    Saggy, older boobs - not pretty 

The golden rules when you hit 30:

• It's boobs or legs - choose one - never both
• Have classy cleavage - not a deep one - it's ugly, tacky and no one wants to see that. It also sends out the wrong message to everyone out there. Chances are that your lovely humps aren't as perky as what they used to be. Cover it up, and leave a little to the imagination. Have a more subtle cleavage. You will be respected more, trust me.
• Skirts should not be very short anymore. The only time you can really get away with it is if it's winter and you wear tights/stockings with the short skirt. A good length for us 30-somethings are just above the knee or just below, depending on your body type. Please no "hooker" short skirts, make sure that your bum is covered, please. It's not lady-like. 

                                                        Cover your bum ladies 

I see women my age trying to dress like they are still at varsity all the time and it grinds me. Know yourself, know your style, know what works for you. If you have no clue, ask an honest friend for an opinion. 

I would really like women to look like ladies again.
