Jumpers- the apparel item. How do you feel about them?

[LaraMN]

I bought a red and black plaid jumper, brought it home, and then determined that I can ONLY wear it with tights and black knee boots, or I look like a kindergartener.

It looked kind of "punk" on the hanger but it just looked little-kiddish on, without the boots.

What are your feelings on this fashion trend?
Like it? Hate it?
Wear it with tights? leggings? boots? flats?

I can't bring myself to wear leggings yet, and I think it's well established that I hate flats.

I'm just curious what other gals are doing.

1. I'm small and non-curvy, so I'd look like pedo bait in one.

When I see a grown woman in a jumper I tend to think "fundamentalist" because for some reason they seem really fond of them.

3. Hahhh!

My mom thought I looked "REALLY CUTE!!!" in mine.
That alone gives me cause to reconsider the wisdom in wearing it...

2. I never liked them for exactly that reason

I always felt like I should be wearing pigtails and carrying a lunchbox. Which, knowing the pevvy proclivities of some of the male species, would probably have gotten me a ton of attention. :eyes:

4. Boots help!

I swear!

10. That's what I thought she was talkin about...

I'm not fashion conscious enough to know what a that dress thing is called. :P


I could never wear one. I'd look awful.

7. What's a jumper?

And, as a newbie, what is K&R?


Thanks!

9. I like jumpers for their ease of wear

but they tend to erase a woman's natural curves. They should make some that are fitted in the waist (just a bit) so that we don't all end up looking like schoolgirls.

11. I love jumpers!

the freedom of no waistband is a great joy to me.

13. I really like them. I think that they look best on women with...

smallish hips, which I don't have no matter how thin I am overall. (You can't diet away bones. :()

[LaraMN]

14. Oh that is DEFINITELY me!

:thumbsup:
I have mini-hips. I had no hips before I had kids, now I have small ones, at least.
Hips are sexy and feminine! I bet yours are just. fine.
