People! Get You Act Together!

I by no means am perfect. I know my flaws and I work daily to overcome my issues and try to be the best person I can. But I need to get out my soapbox and stand atop it and ask you my readers, what is happening to our country? I think we have gotten entirely too casual and sloppy. I'm all about comfort and convenience. And I don't think you should spend a lot of money frivolously. I don't think you need to dress everyday like you are going to a fashion show. But I think you should wear appropriate clothing that fits. You should always put your best foot forward and care and respect yourself.

I don't have children but if/when I do I WILL NOT let my daughter walk out of the house looking like this. Really? Where are your pants? You are not old enough to be showing that much skin. Ugh. I had half a mind to run over to the clothing section of Target and pick up a robe to wrap around this girl.



And this one. Taken the other day while I was waiting for a table at a restaurant. Those shorts are too short and too tight for you. Not even that, homeboy has almost 50 lbs. on me and I couldn't even squish my way into those shorts. Not even if I was sucking in, laying down on the floor, wearing Spanx could I get that button closed and the zipper up. Would he wear that to see his mom and grandparents? I don't think so. So why is it appropriate for breakfast?



This will be a new thread. The "Oh no you didn't go outta the house looking like that" section. Updated as needed.

So glad you're back in blog land! I've missed reading your rants and raves. These photos bring to mind what Jerry often says when he sees atrocities such as these: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Can I get an amen?

Wow! I'm sure we all can email 10+ more pictures per week that should go under this heading. Things are getting scary around this country. I will look forward to more pictures! :) ................ Hilde

I saw one this weekend. I couldn't grab my phone to get a shot before ol' girl got on the elevator, but let me just say that I've never seen anything like it. I can't remember the whole ensemble because I couldn't get my eyes off of the white tight/pantyhose that had sparkling glitter bows printed all over them. Oh, and the open-toed black glittery bow heels. Wouldn't have mattered if everything else was Vera Wang - she ruined it completely with the accessories. She most definitely did not, "Make it work, people!"
