What goes around most definitely comes around. Especially when it comes to fashion. I remember showing my mom a pair of acid-washed shorts and a neon pink tank top I wanted to wear to a birthday party in 8th grade and being confused when she responded with shock and horror.

Controlling girlfriend forbids boyfriend from wearing a kilt to a wedding: ‘She needs to get over herself’

Kilts are rad. They have a long and storied history and culture, look fashionable, and let the legs breathe. What’s wrong with that?

Bitter Old Haters Criticize Hot Grandma For Her Fashion, Youngsters Rush to Her Defense

Women are told what to wear and how to look at every age. You’d think by the time you were a senior citizen, your peers would cut you some slack about your appearance, but that is unfortunately not the case. Older people can be the most judgemental critics of others’ appearances. If I hear one …

Interfering Mom Demands to Try on Future Daughter in Law’s Wedding Dress, Doesn’t Understand Why She’s Upset

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I don’t understand the big furore around weddings. Surely, the quality of the marriage is a lot more important than the day itself.  That being said, I do think that it is important to respect other peoples’ boundaries. No matter what you feel about somebody’s special …
