Where is Our Class?



There was once upon a time no matter your social or economic standing you put on your good clothes and you went to church. The women had their hats, hand bags, and matching shoes to go to the grocery store. Men wore ties and opened the doors for the women. Over the years the hem lines have risen showing more and more skin. To the point it is no longer modest even in the little girl section of the clothing store.

Go to the store or the mall and you see a sea of raggedy jeans, t-shirt with profanity on it, and even someone wearing pajama bottoms with their house slippers.
WHAT has happened to society wanting to look good? What's wrong with a woman LOOKING like a woman? Hair done, clean and pressed clothes, and not a lot of skin showing. Make-up of your one to wear it. Why can't a man look like a gentleman anymore? Men wearing slacks and nice button up shirts with an undershirt.

Kids wear what ever, pants that they have to hold up or they will fall down. Young ladies are wearing shear shirts with just a bra underneath. Since society as a whole finds this kind of attire acceptable no wonder even public schools are going to standardized dress codes, if not a full blown uniform.

These dress codes are not there to discourage kids from being kids and expressing themselves, but maybe, JUST MAYBE it will teach the young adults to CARE about how they look. Tuck the shirt in, iron the pants. Clean shoes with matching laces.
There's a time and a place for pajamas and slippers. The stores are not it!!

Let's get some CLASS back to our society!!!
