Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares deals with four teenage girls on
their first summer apart. The girls stay connected with a pair of jeans that
fits each female perfectly as it travels from one location to another. I found
the movie version of this book enjoyable until I realized the pants were only
magical if they remained unwashed the weeks they were being sent all over the
world. Gross!
Has
anyone ever commented about seeing you wear a particular outfit twice in one week?
Unless you are required to wear a uniform at your place of employment, how do
you feel about duplicating clothing items in the public eye?
As
a guy, I don’t feel it is anyone’s business what I wear as long as I have
clothes on. It could be someone’s concern if they wished to buy my clothes.
Chances of that are slim. (I’m sure life in Femaleworld is quite different. I
only venture in there when it’s a matter of life and death.)
With
my age, my rather large body, and the aura (of don’t mess with me), strangers
don’t tend to make any comments about me unless I invite them to, which I
don’t. When I’m out in the public eye (excluding work), I dress completely for
comfort.
My
wife (as a female and a former large woman) has had all sorts of hurtful (but
well-meaning) comments made about her weight (her whole life) both at work and
in the public eye. It’s always irritated how caddy (and snotty) some women can
be to other women of different sizes, age, ethnicity, race, and the list goes
on. So make sure that you mind your
business when it comes to someone else’s clothing. It may be they can only afford one nice
outfit, and that’s what they wear to work everyday. Have you ever thought about
it like this?
