Age Appropriate - Please Don't Dress Like A 7 Year Old

Is it me or is this Marc by Marc Jacobs cotton twill bow dress just wildly inappropriate for anyone, say, over the age of seven? Even the models look confused and mildly embarrassed.

Li'l Sasha O. on the other hand makes it work:



What say you? Am I alone in feeling this way?

Which Gossip Girl "Little J" Look Do You Prefer?

New York Magazine recently called 15 year old Taylor Momsen's style transformation from girly to Goth "shocking".

I'm not entirely convinced.

I can't count on both hands the number of transformations I had before I reached sweet 16. What do you think? Is Taylor's edgier look inappropriate for a girl her age or are you loving Little J's Joan Jett-style makeover?

Eek! Does This Make Me Old?

Call me a glamor puss. A prep. A rocker. A geek. But PLEASE don't call me "mom."

Let me explain.

Last night, while poring over Harper Bazaar's September issue, I came across a small photo of the Eileen Fisher cardigan pictured above. Since I normally associate this line with crunchy granola Birkenstock wearing professor types (no hate mail please - it's just not my bag) I was surprised to see it in a glossy mag that usually devotes it's spreads to glitzier fare. What surprised me even more? I actually like it.

If you agree, you can buy it online here.

Now, promise to stop me if I start reaching for mom jeans.
