Like training wheels and braces, at a certain age some things just aren't cute anymore.
In fact, at a certain age, cute is over.
In and outside of the work place, young professional women should dress like they have jobs, pay taxes, and have moved out of the double bedroom on the second floor of their parents' house they used to share with their younger sister.
