Look How Far We Have Come

When I was a teenager I can remember wanting to look pretty, especially if there were  a young man I was interested in. What happened to that in young girls now?  So bad I want to walk up to girls dressed like the ones in the bottom picture and ask, 'Do you think you look pretty in those pants?"  Do they even realize what those kind of clothes even say about them?  Girls used to look feminine but that is long gone. How did that happen? If you see a young lady that looks pretty or even just well dressed, and I don't mean expensive clothing, but simply clothing that looks feminine, don't just think it, take a moment and compliment her on it. We need to encourage young ladies to care about themselves and be pretty and feminine.  Young ladies aren't suppose to look dumpy and thrown away. But all this on the outside is only a clue as to what is going on inside. We can't change everyone, but we can encourage those who are being good examples.

  2. OH AMEN DEAR SISTER!!! I can remember (in my single days & before 3 c-sections! lol) that even though I was a skinny-mini at the time, I would suck in my tummy & stand up straight. Now, the frumpier the "better" ~ & it even seems that girls are purposefully sticking their guts out. Why? Between the low-rise jeans (which I didn't like when they came out the 1st time in the '70s), the high-rise shirts & string bikinis...there's no mystery to women anymore. I have always thought that mystery was part of the attraction.

    Thanks for a great post.
