[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anytime I go somewhere with large “family” crowds: zoos, amusement parks, festivals, etc. I am always shocked by people.  Most are overweight and dress like total slobs.  Plenty of dumpy and trashy looking thin people too though.  The overall look of general population, but especially moms, is a total lack of style or caring for appearance at all.  It isn’t about what “other people” think, it is about having enough self respect to put on real clothes, be clean, take care of your appearance and being groomed.  [/quote]

And yet what “real clothes,” being “clean,” taking “care of [one’s] appearance,” and “being groomed”, mean are entirely subjective, and at the purview of the individual. So, pray do tell, why I personally should care that you care about how I dress, and what, to you, constitutes the quoted items? My self-respect is immense, and isn’t predicated by my outfit choices. I’m perfectly comfortable rolling out of bed, brushing my teeth, tossing on a hat, and walking my kids to the playground in my bra-less pajamas. I’m perfectly content rolling into work in a T-shirt, flip flops, and shorts or leggings. Sometimes braless too (I hate bras 😒; FYI it’s bench science work, so I’m not in some client facing position). I respect myself no different then when I decide to wear something that’s nicer by my standards. And I grew up and live in Brooklyn, and work in NYC. I see the compendium of how people dress around here, from “upscale” wear to the basics. I’m happy with my choices. I’m unconcerned about the opinion of others. [/quote]
