The lost art of dressing for the occasion

[Miss Stella]

I wont go into the lack of 'dress' I saw recently at the California CHP Memorial service...but it was great to see the 'pomp and curcumstance' the officers as well as the new cadets showed to everyone.
Gosh, I love a man in uniform !!

It is amazing how (hypersexual) tight and short girls clothing is today.
Including clothes in sizes made (ages 7-14) for elementary age children.
I recall in 2011, the uproar in the media over Abercrombie selling thongs that were adolescent sizes and w/ "cherry's", "eye candy" "kiss me" and "wink-wink".
The day will come, when you will need to shop your local theatrical costume store to find formal styled clothes in your kids size.
Read in amazement.

Regarding the wedding picture. It seems especially out of place considering her choice of a traditional wedding gown. At the least they should be consistent.

Are those loafers? I'm definitely not the fashion police (well, okay, kinda am) but he looks like he made a quick stop to Target, picked up the suit in pieces, found a pair of $35 Nunn Bush loafers, threw on the nearest skinny tie and called it a day. His belt is slung two inches below his belly button, so his normally svelte figure appears fat and saggy. He looks like he just got done drinking too much and making an ass of himself at a frat boy reunion. But who am I to say? I'm sure he's happy with being a sloppy teenager stuck in a billionaire's body...

There is a push to sexualize younger kids preteens. It is part of many TV shows and movies, plus those kids are influenced by what is portrayed as teen ideals and uyoung adult ideals. Here is the thing that in the "West" many young adults are not getting married and not having children which makes you wonder if this early sexuality ruins peoples abilities to have a truly significant other and have a family, because the push is not new.

I have made fashion suggestions to yound adults that were trying to dress properly but had no clue as to how to dress.
In Highland dress:
The pleats go in the back if the kilt.
A kilt should not be worn in the style of boxers showing at the top.

In American tuxedo:
The cumberbund fastens at the back and goes under the jacket.
