I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

    I’m always up for slagging off the yanks but… What’s so wrong with that exactly?

      I mean it’s the most “culturally confusing” for me. Dressing up or even getting dressed at all is a lot to do with respect. How much self respect you have, how much you’d like it from others. How much you want to make a good impression. It’s nothing “wrong”in theory, like wear whatever makes you comfortable right? But when it comes to social situations a lot still don’t put in the effort to dress appropriately. I can’t ever imagine wearing sweatpants or a sweatshirt to a friend’s house, or to anyone who has put in the effort invite me over to their house and host me! But yet so many people I’ve hosted in my house have come over wearing sweatpants or which I find really disrespectful. Like a lady in my neighborhood (pretty affluent, houses are worth low 7figs) hosted a wine night and invited the ladies on our street to join and there were women there in their pajamas??? I honestly would be so mad if I was her! It’s a cultural thing I guess!

        Yeah fair enough that was the question. I personally don’t really care what other people are wearing so long as it’s not extremely provocative.

        Sweatpants (or trackies as we call them) are just a comfortable thing to wear on your legs if you ask me. I personally like wearing jeans for the more secure pockets, but each to their own you know.
