Am I too ______ for this?

Until recently, the only serious question I would ask myself when deciding on a wardrobe purchase was, "Am I too fat for this?" Now, however, the foremost question on my mind is, "Am I too old for this?" This is very dangerous territory for a girl (lady?) who still makes 65% of her clothing purchases in the juniors' department at Target.

My first clue that it was maybe time to cross the aisle to the womens' section was that I completely stopped relating to the articles in my magazines. Lucky, seriously, who are we kidding? Does a 33-year-old really need to know how to match minidresses with motorcycle boots? I mean, even if I could, should I? Or how about Lucky's earnest desire to teach me how to wear three shades of the same color in one outift? I could maybe do this, if the color was black. Then it dawned on me, I started subscribing to this magazine five years ago. Oops.

Now that I know I've moved from one target demographic to another, I wonder about things like almost-black nail polish, the razored bob, ankle boots, and yes, skinny jeans. Also, I think some entire websites may need to be erased from my memory bank because the temptation is too great. Take Urban Outfitters, for example. Even though I love these sandals:

They also sell this shirt, which I almost bought online until I tried it on in the store and didn't look all cool and nonchalant like this young girl but rather like Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie.

Delia's will definitely have to go, even though they sell this dress:

Because the vast majority of their stuff, while also tempting, looks more like this:

And I'm definitely too old for that nonsense, right?
