[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love dressing like that. I'm wealthy and educated, and above all, I don't have weird American hang-ups about what constitutes femininity in 2025.

Before it was a style in the US, I had to spend hours online looking for stuff sold in Japan. Or go to Japan (and see my cousins).

You don't need to wear only what you find in stores. Some decades will be harder than others to find what YOU like to wear, but a little persistence pays off!

I just don’t buy that women have to be infantilized to look feminine.[/quote]

PP you replied to. YOU think florals and ruffles are baby-ish. Why would an age group have ownership of a style of dress? Do you understand that this reasoning is flawed at the most basic level?

I strongly reject any strictures on dress for anyone. It's just another way for society to force people into submission. I just want to wear what I like. And I like little flowers and pastels.

You must be the sort of person who posts means comments about older women wearing bikinis or short shorts or other revealing clothing. I'm 45 and I wear all those things. BECAUSE I WANT TO.

I'm sorry you have such a straightjacketed brain.

Well, maybe the PP you responded to has a straight jacketed brain - in which case so fo billions of other people.  You ARE being judged for dressing like a baby.  If you are ok with that, then so am I. It's not like I'll have to work with you while you churn your butter or stay hidden in your home tending to your man.  You do you.  I'll dress professionally in the professional domain and like a grown educated woman while in casual wear.  I'll never wear curtains and doilies.[/quote]

You aren't better than other women because of whatever your job is.

FWIW, my kids think churning butter is fun. [/quote]

How often do they churn it? Weekly like in Little House on the Prairie?[/quote]
