[quote=bearishgurl]LOL, scaredy. What gets me is how millenials think they should dress for job interviews and work. I see millenials at superior court counters and tax collection counters (where they frequently interact with boomers and seniors) with extremely tight shirts on showing cleavage (every female article of clothing appears to stretch today, including jeans, lol). If we dressed like that at work, we would have been summarily sent home at 8:01 am to re-dress and the time we were gone applied to our vacation time on the books. These millenials more often than not do not wear hose with skirts and have their bare toes showing in sandals and flip-flop heels with stupid-looking fake jewels on them (straight out of the Dollar Store). Again, we would have been sent out to the store (on our vacation time) to buy pantyhose before beginning our shift if we showed up to work dressed like that and open-toed shoes were not allowed under any circumstances.
I’m so glad my youngest is a member of a Greek organization on her campus. She MUST have on dress pants or a skirt WITH a jacket at their once-weekly nightly meetings (regardless of weather – they can take the jacket off at the meeting). If she was dressed in bullet-riddled “skinny jeans” with a low-cut tank or bra-top left over from the gym that day, she will have to change for the meeting or be fined. No visible tattoos larger than a quarter are allowed nor would a heavily-tattooed female who was “rushing” for membership be picked up by most of these organizations. These young women are being prepared for the professional workforce and this is how ii should be.
Yeah, you’re right, scaredy. Schumer humor aside, some of today’s grossly overweight female millennial celebrities are colossal whiners … fat-shamed or not! If you weigh too much, you are unhealthy and should endeavor to lose weight ASAP. And um, YOU DON’T LOOK GOOD in those tight clothes you’re wearing! People don’t want to see you hanging out of your clothes so lose weight so you can wear them better! This also applies to males!
I find it UNBELIEVABLE how the portion of (mostly female) millennials dress who are at least 30 lbs overweight. Boomer women had pride. As such, we wouldn’t have been caught dead wearing tight clothes with a body like that. Even nine months pregnant, we covered up with dresses with strategically-placed pleats in them and dress skirts/pants with hidden panels which longer shirts hid. Never in a million years would we go out in public with half our pregnant stomach exposed under a short t-shirt and tight yoga pants worn low or a t-shirt stretched so tight over our stomachs that it showed everything that no one really wanted to see. NOR would would we ever nurse in public (that’s what restrooms are for)! It is RIDICULOUS the demands that many female millennials are making and the things they feel entitled to do at everyone else’s expense. They have no common decency or respect for others. For many in this group, it is all about them. Gross…[/quote]
Honestly BG I think you need to get out more. You cannot put a blanket stereotype of a generation based on a trip to the local tax collection counter. Trust me there are many millenials who know how to dress professional at job interviews and in a work setting.
