sorry, its a NO from me also.

i do understand the gym uniform connection that someone else made. we had that same color uniform in the 70s.....a kind of a yellowish manila folder color.......a "dress" that snapped up and bloomers to wear underneath.

Too funny, Sunshine.

She did wear alot of pretty shades of yellow in many styles.  Just gorgeous.

Umm, No.  I think this look has come and thankfully,gone.

Another "no."

And here I thought I was the arbiter of good taste.  Oh well. 

@golding76

I still think it is a good look and it will be forthcoming as styling in the near future with, perphaps, a tweak here and there, just as her hair will.

Goldie, I have been told that my hairstyle is dated by a good friend (and hairdresser) but with my very thick hair, it works and I like it. Not very many women wear skirts when I currently live, but I wear them all the time anyway (and yes, I'm always asked "where are you going?"🙄) 

Oh oh and don't get me started when someone new comes to my home and I'm wearing my daily apron (probably with the above skirt)!

So if you can find a similar outfit, wear it with a smile and make yourself happy.

Mom2fourboys,

You are preaching to the choir, as they say.  I am an enthusiastic skirt-wearer and made it through my entire career lives never having worn pants to work, except on scheduled all-hands cleaning days.

Sometimes I feel as though I am a quaint relic with my aprons, but I will now remember that you, too, are wearing one.  I love that the apron protects me from splashes of food and water, plus it is a convenient wipe-cloth.  

Hurrah for June Cleaver!  She lives somewhere in Anytown, U.S.A.  LOL

p.s.  Why doesn't QVC offer an assortment of aprons?  I wonder if they ever did.

I love it on Diana as much as you do and am also somewhat surprised at some of the answers.  It's a look I remember trying to emulate down to the hairstyle.  Her hair was a lot like mine (straight, thick and the front tended to fall forward). 

I like "neat" clothing and the trend towards always looking like you're about to/or just came from running 3 miles isnt attractive to me.  I realize that's just a personal taste.... and I tend to wear slacks/jeans with a blouse/top/hoodie and my black Harley boots.  Hair is styled in a modified bob, longer in the front and shorter in back.... 

I look like "me" and don't really care about emulating current trends anymore....

A gym suit on a mannequin!  You've made my day!

Agree with @JustJazzmom and @sunshine45

Diana's look, although beautiful for her time, is dated. That style of blouse was so 80's and has not endured as a classic, like the button-down, collared or t-shirt styles.

@sunshine45  You gave me a chuckle with that photo--my gym uniform at a Catholic girls school was similar, but in mint green! lol
