(711 posts)my senior year. I bought one pair of jeans and wore them on the first day of school. Never again, it was actually uncomfortable. They still weren't in the workplace until years later.
Now, I only own one dress, one skirt and one blouse. Jeans and sweats for this retiree.

Jeans were FORBIDDEN.
Right jeans are not that comfortable.
I live in leggings and sweaters.

(76,516 posts)We had to kneel on the floor and if our skirts didn't touch the ground we got sent home.
We outsmarted the principal because we wore longer skirts but as soon as we
left the house in morning at the bus stop we rolled up the waistband to get the skirts nice and short.
And when we got off the bus coming home from school we let down our skirts so our parents didn't see
how short the skirts were.
If we got called into the principal's office with the report of a short skirt we just rolled the skirt waistband down.
Went to the principal's office looking all innocent.
Our principal was such a godamn dufus.

(711 posts)I swear I had to lift my blouse when I got home so she could check for roll marks! How did she know about this? She worked at a Catholic school for a while! 😂
And wasn't that right around the time mini skirts came out? So yeah, waistband check!

Oh yes mini skirts were all the rage.
The shorter the better.
When we bent over you could see our underwear.
We just loved it.

Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)I used to wear them when I was young because I had great legs.
But then in my 50's I just started wearing pants and leggings all the time.
More comfortable.
I had a job where I sat all day long, and skirts were not comfortable.
I guess the GOP clothing police will put me in jail.
That is OK. I am going to go kicking and screaming.

(30,854 posts)i was halfway through my sophomore year in high school when they changed the dress code. NEVER once did i wear a dress or a skirt to school after that. i'm not saying it never happens and later on I did wear them for work, but less and less as time wore on. So uncomfortable.
Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)So I had to keep making sure my skirt was pulled down over my knees.
And I sat all day long in this way and panty hose just cut into me and pressed on my stomach.
So I just went to pants.

(30,854 posts)panty hose and modesty.
seems like a good time to share my theory of high heels: a plot against women.
Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)But yes, high heels are a method of torture designed to cripple women.

(30,854 posts)though i tried later on in life because of a job where i needed to have a professional look.
i was a little hippie and i loved shoes. but they were boots or flats or sandals or tennis shoes, you know, the shoes that don't kill your feet.
Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)But they did kill my feet I admit.
So as I got older, I never wore them.
Irish_Dem

Totally abnormal and sick.
barbtries
(30,854 posts)and all their "sins" are projected onto decent people for the sake of perpetuating their power and marginalizing others they consider a threat to their all but absolute power.
i hate republicans
Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)They keep insisting we are the perverts.
But we know the truth that they are the sexual deviants.

(8,853 posts)I couldnt wear pants to school until the 7th grade.
I froze my ass off in the winter even wearing snow pants.
Fuck Shapiro. He can go live somewhere where burkas are the norm.
Guess what? I wear a dress maybe once or twice a decade now.
Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)I am obsessing about whether I am going to have to wear a dress or not.
I guess I am going to have to go try some on.
I already bought a lovely and dressy pants outfit.
As the mother of the bride the pressure is on me.

(711 posts)Some are very clever at looking like skirts.

Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)I usually wear Old Navy leggings, so these pants are a very different look for me.
I think I can get away with not wearing a dress.
LittleGirl
(8,853 posts)I cant justify paying mega bucks for a dress Ill wear once to a wedding but its really expected for the mother of the bride. Nice dress and they swoon. No dress and youre judged.
Youll look marvelous! Good luck.
Irish_Dem
(76,516 posts)Yes I am finding some things that look nice.
Some with dressy flowing pants.
But I am going to try some dresses on.
God I have not worn panty hose in ages.
Yes for the mother of the bride I am going to have to bite the bullet
and get something nice.
