And this is why I try, though not always successfully, to keep my mouth shut when my kids show up in the latest fashion that I think looks perhaps not so great.

My other fashion rule: If I wore it before...like in the 70s...I won't wear it again. Nothing says old woman like a woman in her ....whatever wearing a miniskirt with varicose veins.
