It’s expected that you make some sacrifices for the weddings of those close to you.

Stepsister drops out of being a bridesmaid after bride insists that she wears an ugly dress while the 7 other bridesmaids wear pretty dresses: ‘She told me it wasn’t my wedding and I was meant to do what she wanted.’

Coordinating bridesmaid dresses for your bridal party is no small feat. I dread the day that I’m going to have to do it, because knowing me, I’ll want to do yellow or some other unflattering color as the theme, and will have to compromise so that all my friends don’t hate me. I have friends …

Older sister bridesmaid demands bride change her pink and green wedding colors because they don’t compliment her complexion: ‘She even threatened not to come if I didn’t change the colors’

I don’t get it when people claim that specific colors look horrible on them. Maybe I’m just a narcissist, but I wear crazy bright colors all the time and have never found a color I think looks horrible on me. I don’t particularly like wearing all black, but that’s not the color’s fault; it’s just …

Every non-bride who shows up to a wedding wearing a white ballgown knows they’re in the wrong. No matter what they say, they are fully aware that this action is a surefire way to get attention, and they care more about that than the feelings of the bride.  Most of us have enough common sense …

Grandma pressures mom to dress her 1-year-old identical twin girls in matching dresses for family photo, won’t take no for an answer: ‘It’s important they be allowed their own sense of self’

I understand why moms of twin babies dress them alike. It eliminates one decision that they have to make in the day. It’s probably far easier to buy two of the same outfits instead of trying to style a baby in a specific and unique way. Honestly, if they can’t talk yet, I don’t think …

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 …

Teenager Screams at Her Disabled Cousin For Cutting Up All of Her Dresses With Scissors

When you’re a teenager, it can be super difficult to regulate your emotions, especially when a genuine injustice against you occurs. You can get so angry that you can’t help but snap at the people around you, even if they are not wholly to blame. You can do the opposite, where you sit back and …

Workers Discuss How Office Dress Codes Leave Men Sweltering During The Summer

I never envy people who have a business professional dress code. I’m over here sitting pretty, wearing the same kinds of clothes I wore in college to the office, and loving it. I am intrigued by the challenge of putting together a cute outfit that fits within a very stringent dress code, but I’m glad …
