I have a student who occasionally wears a nude color body suit/camisole, which seemed to be intended to be underwear, but what do I know, I'm OLD. Every time she wears it, it kind of freaks me out. Each time I look at her like, "Ah! Where are your clothes?!"
One day, while driving into school, I saw a girl walking around wearing flesh-colored pants. I thought, "People should NEVER wear pants that even remotely match their skin tones." (I had a supervisor once, who had a pair of questionably colored pants that sent me into a tizzy each time he wore them.) As I got closer to the walker, I came to a horrifying realization that she was not wearing flesh colored pants. Even worse- she wasn't wearing pants at all.
It took just a second to process this information, but I came to the conclusion that she PROBABLY was wearing shorts, short-shorts which were hidden by an oversized sweatshirt.
This week my 7th grader was invited to an awards ceremony. Her peers decided it was a dress up occasion. Their parents were in attendance- so presumably approved of all of the outfits. Several girls were wearing short, spaghetti strap, white summer dresses. One of the dresses necklines dipped down fully as low as a triangle bikini top.
In fact I believe it was this very dress. On a 13 year old. At a school event.
Being old does cause judginess I guess.
