Women Can Dress However They Want, Stop Judging Them

Just because she has on a limited amount of clothing doesn't mean she is less than a person.

PSA: IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS OF A WOMAN IF YOU WEAR CLOTHES THAT ARE CONSIDERED "CLOTH."

Read it again.

Nothing bothers me more than seeing women tear another woman down because of how she is dressed. And I'm not talking about wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, I'm talking that skirt with a tube tope. Her "goods" are covered, and she is not showing anything that is considered private. So why are you making faces at her and saying things along the lines of "she looks so slutty."

First off, it's 2020. It should not be frowned upon when women show a little skin. We are proud of our bodies and it has been instilled in us that we must be confident, so we are. Second, why tear someone else down to feel better about yourself? I promise it's not going to change your inside or outside appearance, only you can change that. We as women should be lifting one another up and pushing each other to be individual and doing the small things that make us feel beautiful. Even if it's a crop top.

If you have no desire to dress frugal, that's totally fine. That's what makes you happy and feel confident so by all means, go for it. But don't judge someone else because you choose not to.

This also goes for the girls who say things such as "she's a prude" because someone wears jeans and a cardigan. Just because you decide to dress less conservative doesn't make you "cooler" or "better."

We have to start showing support for each other, all women supporting all women.

So what if sis has on a cute top that accentuates her curves? Tell her she looks good and move on. If sis has on a maxi dress with a sweater, tell her she's beautiful and move on. Have something positive to say to everyone, especially your fellow woman. It's hard to find confidence in today's society, we can't make everyone happy. There are so many cruel people out there that will put you down for the clothes that are on your body. Don't be one of those. Be kind.

Yes, it is 2020 and girls do find it appealing to wear a see-through shirt with a bralette, smile and move on. Maybe last week someone told her that her breasts were too small, and she felt insecure and now she's showing the world that she's not flat chested, and that okay. Don't say degrading things to women if you don't want them to retaliate. And they are not degrading themselves by flaunting, there is nothing about the human body to be embarrassed about.

Men, especially men, stop degrading woman for the way a woman chooses to dress. It's none of your business how she decides to dress, whether it's "too revealing" or "not revealing enough", it has absolutely nothing to do with you. Stop making it about you.

Women, boost each other's confidence. Some days that's all we have, each other.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
