Here at Pinky Scout we LOVE fashion- not just for kids but for ourselves. I bought a great dress the other day, put it on this morning and stood in the mirror questioning if I looked “old”. I then I had to remind myself that I am almost 30 years old and I should feel great in this dress I bought in the “woman’s” department. I got to talking with some of the other girls here today about getting older and how to dress as a classy Mom, yet still feel young and hip. When are you too old to shop in the juniors department? What is no longer appropriate to wear when you are a mother? or just over the age of 30? We thought of some funny but serious fashion no no’s for classy sophisticated Moms and women over 30 that we thought we would share! Please share with us any other fashion no no’s you may have, we would love to hear them!!!

When you have hit the age of 30 these things are no longer appropriate……….

1. Belly Shirts- even if you have a rockin body, keep it covered. Belly shirts are for teeny boppers!

2. Showing your thong or whale tale as some call it- that is just hoochie mama! So make sure when you sit down- this doesn’t happen.

3. Wearing glitter body gel or total glittery eyeshadow- there are a few M.A.C. pigments that are a bit sparkly that are acceptable, but this is a NO NO for everyday wear.

4. Shorts that are so short that the pockets hang out of the bottom. Not cool. If you wouldn’t let your teenage daughter out of the house in them- than that means you shouldn’t be wearing the either!

5. Scrunchies. In your hair or around your wrist, enough said.

6. Sweats that say “sexy” , “hot”, or “bootylicious” on the bum. I personally like to wear Victoria Secret PINK sweats so the word “pink” is ok (by me) but having sexy across your bum is SO not sexy.

7. Having your hot pink bra straps showing- or really having your bra straps showing period. Invest in a nice strapless bra, nothing looks tackier than when you wear a cute sundress or halter but have your nasty bra straps showing.

8. Belly Button rings, eyebrow rings, tongue rings. And whats even worse is when people have tongue rings and they play with it clacking it around in their mouth. eeewwwwww…. I see that the “Marilyn” piercing is becoming popular, which is cute if it is not huge. But tongues, belly buttons, and eyebrows went out of style about 10 years ago.

9. School girl plaid skirts. So inappropriate for a mature classy lady. Unless it is Halloween and you are going as Britney Spears.

10. Class rings. If you are still wearing your High School class ring or worse yet your boyfriend’s class ring then you may just have issues.

11. T-Shirts with silly messages or sayings.  For example, even though we all LOVE the “Twlight Series” if you are over 30 you probably should be wearing a Team Edward or Team Jacob Tee out and about.

What are some things that you think are fashion no no’s over the age of 30? PLEASE SHARE!!!
