What Not to Wear

Do people not own/buy mirrors anymore? I read an article last week that showed the difference in portions in America from 20 years ago and then it compared portion sizes between America and other countries. WE ARE FAT!!! And I work in an environment where kids are so technologically advanced that they don't engage in physical activity of any kind. Well, there is one physical activity they are involved in but it only burns like 10 calories. And yet, they wear clothes two sizes too small for them, and pants that would fit a 5 year old and think they look good. What is that about? I changed clothes today THREE times because everything I put on my body made "pleats" in it. So, I am safely ensconced in a turtle neck with a sweatshirt over it. Not only am I safe but my students have made it through another day without being scarred for life. So, I am frustrated with the lack of self-control in CLOTHING!! I am not concerned about the self-discipline that comes from not eating because I myself have issues in that area. But for pete's sake COVER IT UP!!! And it is not just the young either. Women with shirts tucked into pants that already have way to much in there. Or pants that come up under your breasts? Where do you go to buy those? Here's a little advice...if you have had children, do not work out, have a "normal" body as a result and are over 40.......LEAVE the shirttail OUT!! Or the other extreme..........clothes so baggy that you could hide a small animal in them and no one would ever know. You are not homeless, buy clothes that FIT!! You don't need growing room unless you are 8! I don't get why people don't take more care with their appearance. Especially the young women of today and I am not just talking about teens. Am I vain? Probably, but I prefer to think of myself as considerate of the "eyes" of others. I was raised by a single mom with three brothers and I was the youngest and wore THEIR hand me downs and yet in photographs I always look well groomed. My mom always said "it's not what you wear but HOW you wear it. Be clean, make sure you match, don't wear things too big or too small, "paint your lips", NEVER go out without your face "on", and wear clean underwear." I don't know about you but sounds like words to live by. So, if it feels tight, IT IS!!! AND...if you can turn around in it, it is too big. If you aren't sure, LOOK IN THE MIRROR, it unfortunately won't lie to you. And while you are at it...............COMB YOUR HAIR!!! That is all!
