A MOB's Point of View

This is a rant....and I apologize if I hurt the feelings of Moms of Daughters. Ok, I want to understand.  WHY!  Why do young girls have to wear such revealing attire?  I attended a recent event.  There were 150 high school girls in attendance with their mothers.  It was a daytime, Christmas function.

I'm all about dressing up.  We ARE girls after all.  I'd venture to guess 80% were (SO!) inappropriately dressed my jaw dropped.  (But, since I know my manners they did not know my jaw dropped!).

Had I been an employer, I would not have hired oh about 130 of these young ladies.  Bosoms jiggling out of the tops of dresses, thighs exposed to who knows where, dresses so tight they looked sandblasted onto their bodies. 

Ok, I am a MOB (Mother of Boys).....but I am trying to teach young ladies on appropriate attire, how to look their best, how to interview.  What is the point?  Why do we even have the word "modesty" in our dictionary?

I do not get it.

  1. How can we expect this when MOTHER'S are dressing just as inappropriately? Hello! All those stupid "Housewives of...." shows! Disgusting!
    It's all about being 'hot'...I hate it too, but what to do? Hopefully, the Mad Men ladylike fashion trends will stay around for awhile.

  4. I've been frustrated to tears sometimes shopping for my little girls. There are a lot of ridiculous clothing for little girls! Leather pants for a five year old. Really? Who thought that was a good idea?

    And all my (six!) children know that I do not allow anything clothing that advertises any TV show or pop singer or Disney cartoon, etc. My daughters will not wear anything with Hannah Montana on it!

    Beautiful clothes can be sensible. I only wish there were more sensible people!
