Are you serious?? 98% of the hoco photos on my FB fees are of girls wearing these dresses because that’s what’s popular/in style! I can assure you that these girls do NOT come from messed up families. Also, my dd has told me that she doesn’t dress the way she does to stand out and be different, she does it to blend in and not draw attention to herself (doesn’t want to be a weirdo outlier). |
Mine is wearing a jumpsuit. Dresses aren't the only option! |
Sure they are! They’re not age appropriate for 50 year olds, but for teenagers? Have at it |
Sure he does. Lol. |
Agreed. I, as a 45 yo mom to a 16yo, would look ridiculous in some of these hoco dresses. The 16yo however, would look fabulous, and like every other 16yo. |
OP here.
I didn't expect to wake up to 4 pages! My issue with the dresses is that they're just so boring. They're carbon copies of each other with absolutely nothing to them. When you go to lulus.com or Revolve or ASOS or Anthro there are pages and pages of gorgeous mini dresses.... and they're all different. Meanwhile the girls all wear the most basic an boring solid colored slip dresses (or at least they did last year) My daughter wore a dress with a full skirt to winter formal last year and I think she was the only girl there not in a solid color slip dress and sneakers. I know she can do her own thing (and she did last year) but I'm hoping that maybe the girls are getting bored of looking exactly the same year-after-year. Slip dress and sneakers. Slip dress and sneakers. Why even dress up if you're just wearing a uniform? What happened to personality or creativity? When I was young we all wore unique dresses. I like that sequins are in. At least it's different. |
there are all great for HC |
People judge others for what they wear. It’s a statement about the choices you make. If I wore orange hair and a tutu, people would assume I’m a nonconformist. Women who were clothes that highlight their sexuality are thought to want sexual attention.
I have no issue with what people want to wear, but it’s naive to think others don’t form opinions about you based upon your choices. My DS thinks girls that wear very skimpy clothes want boys to look at them. The boys call them “pick me” girls, as the girls will try so hard to get boys to pick them. DS has a beautiful girlfriend - who doesn’t wear skirts so short you can see her hooha when she sits down. |
Your brothers and son suck and are misogynists. We, the girls who wear what we like, don't give a flying toss what a**holes like them think. |
What? You’re just as bad as the stupid pp to whom you are responding. Stop with the “good girl” vs “popular girl” dichotomy. |
+1 some look like street walker dresses |
Homecoming is an appropriate event to dress to be sexy. It's not visiting grandma in the old folks' home. |
Oh, I'm sure he sees it, though. |
Yep this. I’d also be livid if DS said this. Does this shame/good girl stuff stem from religion? |
dp. The content of your character (based on what you have written) is uglier than a dress that showcases a beautiful body. Girls are sexual beings, sexuality and sensuality is an inextricable part of their being, in addition to many other qualities. The fact that your son can't put this in context or see beyond a dress is a reflection of his judgmental and inflexible nature - very unattractive qualities in a mate. |
