Did this thread turn into a battle of the generations while my back was turned?
Well, speaking as a member of the boomer generation, hippi division, all I have to say is nobody in my generation or subset of same has any right whatever to mock what other people wear, that's for DAMNED SURE.
You folks ever see how WE DRESSED back when the sap was running quick in our young veins?
Personally I think kids today are far more sensible in their dress than we were.
There are exceptions of course, but for the most part kids don't seem to care much about making fashion statements like we felt we had to do. (or maybe actually had to do to liberate all of us from the tyranny of fashion.)
Well, according to my teen there are many fashion "statements" made by them today.
Some are:
The 'Scene' Look, emo, punk, slutty, goth, skater, wanna-be ganster, preppy, grunge, nerdy, and jocky....(these terms are straight out of her mouth btw when I asked her what kids were into these days....)
She herself wears bandshirts, sweatshirts and jeans, jeans and jeans.....
I wore halter tops, (without bra) all the time when young! It was the fashion? that, and hip-hugger, bell bottom jeans.....
Looking back on it now, i can understand why my mom was so upset with me, but at the time....i just thought it was fashion and sex or being so sexy that i drove guys crazy was the farthest thing from my mind....(until later on in life)!
Seriously though, i think the best term to describe what our youth wears, no matter the generation, "They know not what they do!"
And also, to the author of this thread....there are plenty of women that do dress moderately....moreso than those that dress like prostitutes in my opinion....
Though, i do admit, i have not been to a high school for decades so maybe it is worse than ever, but i doubt it....?

I was in vegas and married in my teenage years but I was a cyndi lauper/madonna freak and had punky orange hair and spandex ha ha
hahahahahaha! See? You and I chloe are the perfect reason of why our youth today should be forgiven!

I think because Matt and I were never able to have children of our own....the youth and how they dress, doesn't matter as much....
Certainly, if i had my own teenage child going nutzoid on their dress, I would probably be right there with those that have posted concerns....but since I am an "outsider" in my age group, with no children, I still view matt and me....as rebellious kids ourselves!
Though my inventory of daily ready to wear, now that I am a stay at home wife, consists or 30 different colors of Sweat pants and tops! Hardly sexy!!!! lol Heh! But at least I can still recognize that it is not sexy!

ooooooooooooooo, hmmm, something I had not even thought of...!mainly even as a parent I dont mind self expression, i only mind if it means Im going to get a call at work from the school saying I have to pick my kid up because they dont like the form of self expression style she chose.....he he

This is definitely how I approach things with my kids. My daughter goes back and forth between punk rock girl to scene kid to prep in a given week. My son is a skater and wears skinny jeans and band t-shirts daily. I don't care as long as they are clean, respectful, and get good grades.An incredibly sane approach to child rearing, in my opinion.
Good parenting, it seems to me, requires that we choose our battles wisely.
There are issues where we might need to put our feet down, but often (especially when it comes to issues like fashion) letting reality make our cases for us is probably the wiser path to take.
Kids have to make their own mistakes and fashion is one those where where their choices are usually so ephemeral that its probably not worth you spending your parenting capital on it.
Good luck with that. I'm sure they will, no matter what she wears. The key is to teach her how to handle that, not to pretend like you can hide her from the world.
