7. Clean clothing. Wear clean and pressed clothing that fit you well!

You seem to be missing a great many things, like "empathy" and "tact" and the ability to mind your own business, but there is one aspect of your lack to which I'm particularly qualified to speak.

Most modern consumer textiles do NOT get "pressed". I'll spare you the lengthy lecture on how people's aversion to ironing ruined texiles and the planet near-simultaneously. To sum up: the vast majority of your clothing is made from chemically-treated, highly processed fibers, and/or plastics and plastic blends. This was designed to eliminate the need for ironing (and lower expense). So unless you're wearing costly outfits, your day-to-day attire shouldn't require an iron, and may in fact be harmed by the use of one. If you have the money to buy those sorts of clothes for everyday wear, you probably have someone else taking care of their maintenance (which will be considerable; that's the whole reason we started this little game).

You're also going to have to learn some leniency when it comes to the "that fit you well" bit. Again, unless you have a bespoke wardrobe or a personal tailor, or know how to fit and sew, your off-rack clothing will probably fit you "well enough". Culturally, we seem to have decided that's alright. Most people don't have the first clue about what their clothes are made of, let alone how they're cut or finished. The idea of fast fashion and a lack of sewing skills basically ruined clothing decades ago, and it's getting worse, not better. If you notice it, you're the exception (or you work in the industry).

That is very interesting. Empathy and tact seem to only be necessary when critiquing a specific demographic on this board. Empathy and tact are not required when critiquing other groups (eg. the ghetto demographic that buys Coach Factory Outlet handbags, southerners, midwesterners, etc). No one is above critique, and no one here gets a pass. If you’re parading around in public wearing wrinkled clothes, have foul body odor, only shower once or twice a week, haven’t established a skin care routine, have discolored teeth, etc, you are being criticized in this thread.

Oh noes! The canty anon on the mommy board might be criticizing strangers! Goodness gracious! Whatever shall we doooooo?!!

Nobody cares, hunty. You're ugly, your "advice" on fashion is ignorant and badly outdated, and nobody happy or sane has the time to devote to the level of ranting you're doing here. Only the mentally weak spend this much time criticizing the appearance of randoms they'll never know or even meet.

Get a hobby, maybe? [/quote]

I have several hobbies. One of them is maintaining my good looks. Another is maintaining my slim figure. A third is going back and forth with randoms like yourself.[/quote]

And the fourth is giving her rich husband BJs so he hands over some more cash, LOL[/quote]

You need to get your husband a bottle of body lotion and teach him how to use it, instead of concerning yourself with the BJs I give my husband.
