Key words here are "KIDS from the city school district."
Grownups need to go another route, though I certainly understand the practicality aspect.
backpacks with a suit is like other common urban/suburban/corporate fashion faux pas:
1) ski coats or parkas over suits
2) boat shoes or hyper-casual shoes (Crocs, etc) with suits
3) leggings worn as pants (and not as leggings) in a corporate setting
4) giant non-matching purse
5) casual skirts/party skirts/skater skirts (looks like a white collar worker doing the walk of shame at work)
6) black shoes that are not dress shoes pretending to be dress shoes |
If you are going to quote something to prove a point, you may want to read what you are quoting to make sure it proves the point you are trying to make. Adults, in Elizabethan dress, wearing backpacks.
