I am almost 62 now and we were not allowed to wear pants to school. We could wear pants under dresses in Washington state in the winter. When I started working (secretary) we could not wear pants until about 1972?, then we were allowed "pant suits" only. When my oldest was about 4 (1983) and he saw me go to work in pants, he would ask why I was wearing my "yucky" clothes to work because I still wore dresses, nylons and heels. Today both of my sons like to dress up. My youngest works in a technical library on a Navy base and dresses in shirt, tie, slacks and loafers every day, even though people around him wear shorts and flip flops. At his wedding last weekend, one girl showed up in a very thin knit dress that showed obviously no bra and a thong. Give me strength.
