Sometimes I see people as parcels. Often the wrapping, (clothes, jewelry and especially dark glasses) is outstandingly beautiful, but there is nothing worthwhile inside the package (the real person). Then there are wrappings that are dull and ordinary, but the inside of those packages are real treasures!

Women will probably hate me for saying this but i feel that some women are asking for trouble when they wear so little, i am not a prude, but i feel somethings are best left for the imagination. If you go out wearing the lowest cut top and your bum hanging out your going to get attention, unfortunately it could be the wrong kind of attention. Of course we as women, in an ideal world, should wear as we please and be absolutely safe, but this isn't an ideal world.

You cant always tell what a person is about by the way they dress, for example, that women who has part of her head shaved and the rest of her hair spiked and blue, her face with piercings and tattoos over her body, her ripped jeans and her studded top, she might look like a scary Mary, but its possible she was bullied so much as a child, she grew into all that to frighten pple off with her image.
And the women i described as above showing it all off, some of those women have little self esteem, and it makes them "feel good" by the attention they get.

Yes, unfortunately, we are judged by how we dress. Usually those who dress neat and tidy are responsible people. But, as the old phrase says, You cant tell a book by its cover.

I love Dancing with the Stars, but Empathy, I agree about leaving something to the imagination. I know the dancers need freedom of movement, but its not necessary to be nearly bare. And Im not a prude either. Now the male dancers are going shirtless a lot. As a woman, yeh, theyre attractive, but its too much.

Sometimes when I see people in public, I have to keep myself from laughing, because many of them are clearly wearing costumes! Yes, they're dressed like gangster criminal wanna-be's, hobos, or people they have seen on television or in movies. They're the human personification of a joke, and they seem to not even be aware that it's not Halloween.

Other people are clearly dressing as a way to show an outward manifestation of an inner mental disturbance. I have seen people enter government buildings in their pajamas (sleep wear). I have seen men in swim wear that looks like women's panties, and wearing no shirts, at supermarkets, on cold days. What were they thinking? Maybe they weren't!

Last Sunday at the Lutheran Church I attended, most of the men wore shirts with collars and long sleeves, a few wore neckties, and at least one man was wearing a full suit with jacket. That was nice. Some Sunday I'll have to wear at least a necktie if I can do it without appearing too pretentious.

I myself have gotten into the bad habit of wearing blue jeans too often. I need to start wearing khakis and dress trousers more often. But one thing I can say is that i don't wear t-shirts. I wear polo shirts, the type of shirt that looks like a t-shirt, but buttons halfway up the chest and has a collar.

I don't want to say this too often, but dressing nicely really is a form of politeness. You don't have to wear expensive clothes, just moderately priced, sensible, attractive clothes. It is rude to habitually dress like a bum when you have the means to dress better. Don't save your good clothes only for special occasions, but also wear them when you want to exhibit your good manners. If you are dressed like a bum, it should be because you're going to be doing some dirty work and you don't want to damage your good clothes.

The last time I was out in public, I seriously wondered if the circus was in town. Some people's mothers surely dress them funny!!!

For me I think it's as simple as 'there's a time and a place for every thing'. One simply dresses for the occasion. This is actually a typical habit. Now if this is being lost, then I think that's the problem. I can dress as I desire while still comprehending where I'm going. That interview I went to earlier in April? I drove there in neat casual shirt and trousers and brought some hiking clothes with me in case I was going to go on a hike - which I did. It's about preparation.

We're still ourselves in every situation; we can meet the circumstances half way.
