If you take the 30's and the 40's and add them together you get ""70's"" Boy talking about having to catch up



I think that's a lot of it, it depends on the situation you're in, or plan to be in.denimini wrote:I could understand the concept of inappropriate clothing, such as wearing a floorsweeper and high heels on a bush walk.
Yeah, there seems to be a niche for more rugged skirts. Sort of the one pipe counterpart of jeans.moonshadow wrote: My Saturdays are typically "errand" days which in the winter can involve hauling off the garbage, grocery shopping, getting the L.P. tanks filed, in addition to any handywork around the house. I typically wear skirts, however on these type of days the skirts are plain, rugged (denim, Macabi fabric, or thick cotton/polyester blends), and might even be paired with one of my rugged tee shirts rather than the more "dainty" stuff I have.
I think our lifestyle should take precedence on what we wear.
For sure, always dress for the situation (within some range).JeffB1959 wrote:...Oh, by the way, Caultron, for whatever it's worth, I've never ruled out the notion of wearing an evening gown. I'd just need to find the right gown and the right situation to wear one.
That may have been true 30+ years ago, but today... not so much. My generation (1960s-70s) took "casual" to a whole new level, and never passed our parents' fashion sense on to Generation X, who never passed it on to the millennials, etc.oldsalt1 wrote:When it comes to how to wear women's clothes and how to put together stylish and tasteful outfits, we're learning in our 30's, 40's, even 50's what women learned as little girls

Well, some people who go to Walmart are weird creatures to begin with, and they go there with express purpose of displaying their weirdness for all to view (see below), so I discount them.Ralph wrote:Which is how we ended up with a whole generation thinking it's appropriate to go into Walmart in their pajamas.
It's so low a snake can walk over it without even hopping. "Clean grunge." Thanks, Zuckerberg. Thanks a lot.Wonderful Electric wrote:["Business 'casual'" is] a pretty low bar to clear to be honest.
Nah.... only people like Zuckerberg can get away with that. The masses still are expected to dress nice.... that is if you want gainful employment.crfriend wrote:It's so low a snake can walk over it without even hopping. "Clean grunge." Thanks, Zuckerberg.

Rock on!STEVIE wrote:"WEIRD" is simply another word for unexplained.
Like the "walmartians", I too am WEIRD.
I do not feel the need to justify myself to anyone.
OK, discount me too, but do not stand in any kind of judgement.
I can get that anywhere, least of all a supermarket.
Steve.
