Did you think that the stars’ look was what very rich women want? Or is that the ticket that some middle class women use to try to parlay themselves into upper middle class by attracting men? Would a high earner female do the same? Do any of these people dress trashy? Ever?
Everybody wants their friends to like what they are wearing. You, your child, is that friend. You could be the leader. I should tell you about the time my mother made me wear a one-piece bathing suit. I was mortified. No one ever ever wore those then. But the boys in my high school church youth group commented. Said all the girls should wear those. I was shocked.
