[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Shi’a legs covered in bug bites?[/quote]

She forgot bug spray?[/quote]

This is why most people wear tights or stockings…particularly with fancy dresses.

I love the fun vibe with the sneakers, but her legs are distracting. Fun tights would have improved the look.[/quote]

Disagree. Young kids should have legs that look like they play outside. No 14 yo wants to go out on a warm night in a cute dress, sneakers, and…stockings. [/quote]
You might if you knew your picture was going to go across the globe [/quote]

Or if you were raised with class.

I’ve always worn tights or stockings for dressy events. Naked legs look weird unless you are wearing a legit sundress or have spray tan perfect legs. For an evening event, you dress up your legs. It’s a fashion miss. [/quote]

The first time I read this I felt angry. How dare you want to try to impose your very out-dated and just plain wrong standards of false perfection on someone else’s child?  Shiloh looked happy, appropriate, and comfortable— just what most of us would want for our children.

I read your words again, and I felt sad. Maybe some long-ago intern’s flip and misogynistic words in the pages of a no-longer published magazine    made you feel less-than: made you doubt that your uncovered legs were beautiful and strong, made you think that spraying your natural skin with noxious colored paint was somehow necessary for you to be acceptable, or made you believe that you were not Enough if you were allowed to publicly enjoy your own body or even your own version of joy.

Often, people who use words like “class” aspire more to visions from crumpled magazines than to values like kindness, independence and growth.  The only “miss” here, PP, is yours.  Perhaps we all could learn something about how to appreciate ourselves from these images of Shiloh.

If your kid wears a formal dress with naked legs, that’s fine.

If you are a celeb walking the red carpet with photogs, you’d think you would put your best foot forward—for yourself and your kid.

There are millions of dcum fashion threads re: bare legs. For some, it’s generational. For others, it’s dependent on the formality of the dress and the shoe style.

For some of us, we were raised by women who adhered to certain constructs. FWIW, “class” doesn’t equate to money for me. Go read one of the many fashion threads on east coast money/old money and you’ll see that lots of people aspire to dress classy regardless of their income.

Bottom line: very few people have perfect legs, and tights/stockings typically improve the overall look.

- Thank you for the suggestion, but I doubt that reading threads written by people who “aspire to dress classy” will be something that I’d find sufficiently persuasive.  [/quote]
