LOL @ quadraboob

Hose - I suspect they are a medieval torture device invented by men, who, naturally, don't have to wear them since they came up with the idea. You go out and buy a nice pair of hose for, say, $10. You squeeze into them. The crotch ends up somewhere around mid-thigh, and by the time you get it seated correctly, you've developed a deep empathy for your toothpaste tube - especially if you're wearing control top. You can't sit down and breathe at the same time. Heaven help you if you want to dance. And to top it all off, next time you want to wear the same hose, you discover a huge run, so you have to throw out your hose and go spend another $10 on new hose that, again, only last for one wearing. UGH.

I tend to wear pants or a long skirt most of the time, so if I'm wearing shoes that call for hose, I wear trouser socks. Sooo much more comfortable, and if one does run, you can pair the other one up with one from a different pair of the same design.

Sandals with socks - UGH. The only excuse for that is if they're new sandals that you're breaking in, and if that's the case, do it in the privacy of your own home.

Anything that shows your belly, other than a bikini - UGH. I actually have to change the channel or leave the room when they show that stupid ad for the low-cut jeans.

Belt, shoes, and purse not matching - UGH. Pick a color, for heaven's sake.

11-year-olds dressing like grown women who are going clubbing - UGH. Act and dress your age. I had a classmate in middle school who wore tons of blue eyeshadow (I think she put it on with a paint roller), bright red lipstick, mascara, used so much hairspray that she could have been solely responsible for the ozone hole, etc - and she was 12. Another classmate in high school wore a see-through blouse to school. (She was sent home.)

As for wearing all white, the rule around here is that it's OK between Memorial Day (not Easter) and Labor Day - other than that, you should have a good reason (ritual, bride, etc) but you won't be driven out of town if you don't. Individual items (e.g. white blouse with black pants) are fine.

OK, rant over
