Excess (Part 4 of 7) - Clothing

A few weeks ago we went to the roller rink for some good old fashioned family fun. We were disappointed. The music was not fit for anyone to listen to (I'll address that in another blog) but what really got us was the attire on a great many of these little girls. My 10 year old son said he just didn't know where to look. Low cut tops, behinds hanging out from beneath the shortest shorts I've ever seen on girls of 10-13 years of age. Too sexy, too soon. These girls are not being taught that whatever is under their clothes only needs to be seen by the husband they will someday have. Also, if they're wearing the smallest shorts known to human kind now, what will they be wearing (or not) by the time they are 17. I'm not advocating covering every square inch of these little girls. I'm just wondering what happened to modesty? I'm referring to all that excess skin. Leave something to the imagination....

The other clothing excess that gets me is the need for brands. Now, I love a good piece of well made clothing as much as the next diva but I don't own a $100 pair of jeans. But I know a lot of teens that do. Again, where do you go from there? Jeans that are $200?? Don't get me started on these guys with their pants sagging either. Really guys, I don't care what color underoos you have on today!! If you have to hold your pants up while you walk across the parking lot, get a belt. That's what our parents told us, right? For Heaven sake, cover it up, pull it up, and save your money.
