Why show up in something like that when I know perfectly well the girl next to me can pull it off a million times better than myself? I find outfits that show the body I have off to its advantage...that don't incite a comparison to the Heidi Klum standing next to me.
I have no issue with short dresses on people who have the goods to pull them off...though I do object to the short, tight mini dresses with copious amounts of cleavage. No matter how hot you are, it's skanky. Pick one section to flaunt at a time. Have a rotation! Cleavage Thursday night, legs Friday night, butt Saturday night...  |
But frankly, it's not our place to judge. We judge the actives enough, without body shaming them all over the place, too. Besides, even the ones that don't pull it off 100% are still pulling it off to some degree (I will never get over how much hotter I was in college than I am now, and it's only been 5 years since I graduated). They're having fun with their clothes, and college is really the only place where short short skirts are anywhere near being age appropriate.
Besides, when minis were popular in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, there were still way more women trying them than the ones that actually looked good in them. We just have a selective memory OR inflated enough egos to think we pulled them off ourselves.
I mean, I kindof always dressed like a frigid bitch so my current style is pretty in line with that, but every once in a while I'd wear short shorts or a mini skirt and I would have worn them a lot more often had I been more confident. When my bust size was smaller I intentionally showed a lot more cleavage, too. It's just the way a lot of women are when they're in their late teens/early 20s and I really don't think there's anything wrong with it, especially if it's not something they're wearing to say, job interviews, or something.
