stupid article - If I want to wear a mini skirt, I will!

The author of this article must be on crack.

All people have the right to dress however they want.

If they're going to make me wear polyester, I ain't buyin it!

I've been dressing the same as I dress now since I was 15. Why not? I'm comfortable!

What's my dress code? Easy. Jeans. t-shirts. Tank tops, hoodies. sandals or boots. shorts in the summer. mini skirts.... shrug... Looks fine to me. Feels fine too.

So now they want to designate me as a "teen mom"?

No wait.. they're talking about women in their 30's and 40's. I could be a mom of a woman in her 30's and almost (not quite) a teen mom of a woman in her 40's.

These people have a lotta fucking nerve catagorizing people like this for the fashion police...

I call this article age discrimination.
Forget refined, elegant style and aging gracefully.
WTF? Who does the author of this article want us to dress like? Her?

Call me grandma if you want but neither of my kids have children and when they do and the kid gets to be older than 5? I'll take him or her with me while I shop in the Junior section. Always have. Always will. Why? If it ain't in the Jr. section, it looks frumpy on me and I'm not doing it!

Love,
doreen

Dressing like your daughter doesn’t make you look hotter—just stupider"

Bad taste taken to the next level, theirs is a situation rich in irony—the more pains middle-aged women take to resemble young girls, the more obvious their age becomes.
Nonsense. I think she looks great! What's so "teen" about this woman's attire? She looks fabulous.

This brings back ugly memories of the O J Simpson trial.
65. Q. Why does Marcia Clark wear mini-skirts in court?
A. She wants to win the Simpson case on appeal.
