I just cringe whenever I see her in one of them.<br /> That being said, I really think it depends on the style of the B.J. item that you are wearing - as well as your own style and personality. But, a little bit of B.J. goes a *long* way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803720 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:34:08 +0000 Sara L. 803720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since Betsey Johnson isn't exactly young herself and dresses fairly eclectically, I doubt she thinks her clothes have an age limit. I think it's all in the person and their personal style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803716 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:28:32 +0000 lynne 803716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a.

Post a picture! </p> <p>If I still had my Betsey Johnson Junior Prom dress (circa 1990), I would still wear it. But some things have not aged as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803354 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 02:04:44 +0000 cciele 803354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>can we see pics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803351 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 02:02:48 +0000 Jaime 803351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on the dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803335 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 01:31:05 +0000 Anonymous 803335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm 53 &amp; I just bought my first Betsey Johnson piece this year (Phoebe's leopard capelet--thanks, Phoebe &amp; Angie!). So if there's some age limit for her clothes, I'm not going to worry about it because I I've surpassed it before I started. I think a lot of her things have a funky, retro look that, as you point out, IK, seem to exist outside of time.</p> <p>Megan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803292 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 00:45:36 +0000 shedev 803292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the dresses consistant with your current style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803288 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 00:40:27 +0000 Isabel 803288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never !!! How old is Betsey ? I say just don't do your hair fuschia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803267 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:33:25 +0000 Amy 803267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my rhinestone studded robot necklace until the day I die, which I hope is a long time off, lol.</p> <p>Seriously though, I think it depends on the piece. Some Betsey Johnson pieces are more youthful than others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803264 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:29:37 +0000 dizzys 803264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just wondering this too. I have some jewelry pieces that borderline on too trendy. Wondering how much longer I can get away with wearing her and buying more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803257 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:19:43 +0000 Anonymous 803257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Betsey Johnson dress that I bought for my brother's wedding and I love it. I plan to wear it for years to come. I'm 38. Now, little Zap has a tutu skirt amongst many other things. Would I wear that? No. I don't think it is about the brand, it is about the style of the garment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-are-you-too-old-to-wear-betsey-johnson#post-803256 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:15:16 +0000 ironkurtin 803256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot of her dresses from the turn of the century. I'm 42 now. Datedness aside - and I tend to think of Betsey existing outside of time in some neon-flower-scattered wonderland - are they simply too mutton-dressed-as-lamb? </p>
