I don't remember high heels to the grocery store but do remember the days when it wasn't considered 'proper' to wear shorts, tank tops, flip-flops and the like to anyplace other than your own backyard or to the beach. Now you see them everywhere including in churches. Many years my mother said(and I think she was right) that Americans were becoming a country of slobs. Now days that would include the whole world. I really don't know where anybody is 'fashionable' (that includes me too :) )
