I don’t see why not. I plan on being 50 and af so why can’t a woman in her thirties who by the way is still extremely young wear what another young woman wears
i don't mean any disrespect but that's a strong hint that she's having an affaire or looking for a relationship... but it's not an exact science so she might be just feeling like do it
A woman should be able to dress the way she see fit for herself. If she feel beautiful the way she dress then let her. Dont change her, cause if she change she will be unhappy with her self.
@Veronique332 a woman don't dress up like a teenager just cause she's happy with her self... there's always a trigger effect that make a person derive from their routine or habits... and clothing style is a good example to that... i'm not saying to change her or her style, i'm just explaining the behavior here
It's a matter of choice and willing to cope with being judged. Majority would think it's not respectable and inappropriate
Great answer 👍❤
Great minds and heart think and feel alike 😘😘
Yes they do ❤😘
People think that way if 20 year olds to if they dress a certain way. That’s not about age but clothing.
She can wear whatever clothes she enjoys wearing. This mentality that some people have that some things in your life have to stop at a certain age is BS.
if they have the body and it looks good but I can see why it would be weird in your situation.
if she maintained her body well over the years then sure.
The majority can't pull that off. Maybe a very few.
It feels a bit weird to talk about someone's mother like this but if she has the body go for it.
Yes. But there on huge key. Confidence! It’s very attractive. So is shyness too
Yes it is normal and is ur telling about lady in that pic so genuinely she's doesn't look like 36yr old she's look like 25-26 yr old really saying...
And as I'm professional photographer and make-up artist I won't lie on any matter of real beauty
Not normal, she is trying to relive her youth. Im sure she is beautiful without dressing like a college whore
Why not? Nowadays, I see a lot of 36-year-old women who are a lot more attractive than their younger counterparts. I blame obesity.
They try since they're approaching 40, so no surprise unless they start flirting with your boyfriend.
CAN she? Certainly (an 80-year-old CAN, for that matter. SHOULD she? Maybe yes, maybe no. Depends of the individual.
If she can carry that cloth properly den she should wear it
I don't know if you know this but 36 is still hella young
She definitely can. Now, if she wants to look like a slutty yoga pant woman as the younger, up to her. But don't come back complaining about being sexualised.
Yes it's normal, i don't see it being a deal breaker.
It really shouldn't matter how old you are if the outfits make you comfortable and confident. Go with what you like, and not with what others your age do. I'm 13 and me and my mom basically share clothes
Celebrities do it, but I guess when regular folks do you can see the difference and it looks try-hardy?
It's not fine it's not appropriate professionally
Forever 21 is not forever
You are saying people shouldn't wear what they like and are comfortable with? They should wear what society thinks the age should wear?
@hindril Because of your image and reputation effects you greatly as a woman than some men. Especially if you are a working professional. How you dress says a lot about you and what you don't want to say out loud. It also determines who you will associate with.
Those people that judge by the clothes are stupid. There is a reason for the saying "don't jidge a book by the cover." How You dress says you like that style. If you're going to judge someone by how they dress, then everyone in the world will dress exactly the same. Are you saying I should be always wearing a suit and tie?
@btbc92
@hindril No. That's not what 'don't judge a book by it's cover' actually means. It means don't let appearances, in general, fool you. How a person dress does say a lot about how you carry yourself and who you really are. If you don't want to get looked at for being a punk, don't dress like a punk. There a difference between not having enough money to afford good clothes, vs, I dress what I want to gain the attention that I want or deserve. Why do you think people dressed a certain way? Because it's more about how you want to respect yourself and respect others in return. Dress like the girl in the picture at a Gala, they'll swear she's a striper.
Also if you wear a suit and a tie, it will allude the fact that you are an upstanding respectful man. The point is is whether or not you ARE the part and not just dress the part. Can't attract a rich person and your dressing like a bum, unless they love you for your heart, that would be even better. But in this world, how you dress says everything.
I have to say then I will start thinking of people how they dress from my personal experiences. I have met hundreds of people. The liars, fakes, deceitful, dishonest, and hateful people wear nice clothes like dresses and name brand. The honest, helpful, and kindest people I met wear goth, grunge, and raggedy clothes. @btbc92
@btbc92 then people shouldn't follow everyone and just be themselves. I don't give two shots how someone dresses. It's up to the person. Why would it matter to others how I dress? What does it matter to you how someone else dresses?
@hindril True. There is nothing wrong with that assumption, your usually correct about that because they act professional in the streets, sleazy in the sheets. Just make sure that you are accurate though before you hurt somebody. Either way, if they don't want to be seen that way, its best to change how you want to be looked at.
If you don't want to be looked a certain show yourself approved. That's all. I take no offense of people who think of me a certain way. I'm the one that has to show otherwise if I want their approval.
@hindril Because they care about YOU and who you ARE. And if your not who you say you are, you will appear fake and no one wants to be around that no matter how you dress. But how you dress also attracts the wrong attention.
@btbc92 you have a good point. I will not change My appearance just to please others. I have been told I am too kind and too giving. I wear tattered jeans and an old t shirt. If you saw me, would you think I am that way?
@hindril It depends on what I sense about you and the energy you give off. I would sense that you are a broken sensitive individual who has yet to understand themselves and truly want acceptance without the need for unrealistic expectations. Whether or not you are a good influence on my life, however, is left entirely up to me and God to decide. Otherwise, if you have no desire to mature, grow and change, I cannot be with a person who remains stagnate in life.
@btbc92 I like how you think. I wear these clothes because they are comfortable not because I am not mature and willing to change. If clothes are comfortable, I will wear them.
But I would not judge you solely for the clothes you wear, but how you behave, portray yourself and your actions. How you treat others. I observe first before I make final judgments and decisions before I god forbid invite the wrong kind of person in my life. And that naiveness cost me a lot when I was younger. I rely on my intuition and the holy spirit most of all to help me make sure I invite the right people I can love and nurture in my life.
Then that is all that matters just make sure that it's not too crazy before you give people the wrong idea, that's all I tell people. Other than that, it's not my life, its there's and they have to decide how they want to live life just like I do. But neither can I stop bad things from happening because of their choices.
@btbc92 good. But You did state earlier that clothes make the image and reputation and who you will associate with. Clothes don't make a person. People judging others without knowing them is what causes it all.
But clothes are designed to make you. We pick clothes that we personally feel represent us, not just about style, looks, and approval ratings. I would never put on clothes that will make me look the opposite of what I am. I dress professionally because I care about being professional for myself. You will never catch me wearing clothes that show too much skin or is inappropriate for my body because I will attract not only the wrong attention from men lustfully but because I have to be an EXAMPLE of what a young woman, let alone a Christian woman is supposed to be. Yes, while judging people without really knowing them can cause a problem. The point is if you have discernment and wisdom, 9/10x your judgments won't be inaccurate as long as you judge from a righteous standpoint and not unrighteously. I tend to look at the person first before their clothes. I've seen men wearing suits and still behave like jerks. We dress who we are at heart.
And until we change, people's opinions of us also won't change.
@btbc92 are you saying you dress the way you do because of society? To be an example to young women to not dress how they want but professionally all the time? That would be like telling people to wear oants and a shirt to go swimming.
@btbc92 I am sorry but now you are confusing me. From what you said, it doesn't matter what people wear because it isn't the clothes, yet people should dress almost business like and professional? Because it influence younger people to not dress how they like to but dress like professionals?
@hindril No. I dress because of the lack of respect in today's society. I dress because I want to be an exemplified woman that respects both sexes. To respect both men and my gender as well. There is no reason to dress in a manner that is detrimental to me and others as long as it's appropriate. I have been complimented on by important people and by others because I do not dress in a manner that is offputting. People may tolerate what you wear but it doesn't mean that what you wear won't offend or hurt others who can't respect what you do.
@hindril No. If you desire to have respect, treat others how you desire to be treated. And that also means choosing what you wear wisely. Wearing what you want is up to you. But you cannot expect to attract the people you want by dressing how you think is okay. You have to remember that not everybody lives in the same world you do. We may share the same space, but everybody doesn't fit the same level as others. If all you care about is yourself, then be prepared to attract people who share your values.
@btbc92 I knew a couple that bought a big fancy house and had nice cars. But You know they had absolutely nothing. The house was almost empty and they could barely afford food but they looked good cause that is what was expected of them.
When you dress professionally you are more approachable and likable. When you tend to dress other than that, you are less likely to attract the people you want to attract. That's just the way how it is. How you dress will determine who wants to hang around you or not. As long as you are true to yourself, you don't have to care about what others think, but also be prepared to lose the kind of people you want that attention from as well.
@hindril That was their problem. Their problem was trying to be somebody they weren't. They waste more than half of their finances to keep up with the jones. That is not wise. That is how they end up broke. However again, we are not talking about having fancy materialistic things. We're talking about how one chooses to conduct themselves by how they dress. You don't need to have expensive things to be respected. However, that also depends on what kind of world you desire to live in.
@btbc92 yes. They did that because they were expected to look good. The same goes with how to dress. I'm 40. If I went with society's thinking, I should be wearing slacks and a button up shirt.
Main question, are you comfortable with what you wear or are you wearing it because it is what you think others will like you to wear?
@hindril Yes of course, as long as it's not what I don't agree with. I don't care. I believe it may have to do with me being an INFJ also. We may not overall like materialistic things, but it doesn't mean we're not attracted to them. My personality type tends to desire meaning in everything we do and experience in life, that also includes people.
Just because of your 40, you don't need to wear slacks or a buttoned shirt. Just be you but also respectable. Dressing like the lady in the photos above once again, and you are bound to turn heads for the wrong way. And definitely, don't have your pants dropping. There is nothing wrong with dressing upscale and you have upscale money. Not have it because you want to fit the status quo, and that is where its a problem. That, however, I don't do.
@hindril the should dress accordingly whatever they do
Setting, age, area, social
I can't wear a catsuit to work could I yes is it appropriate hell no
Work areas have dress codes. That makes sense. I was thinking outside of work. There is no way I can wear shorts and sandles to work. Lol
She probably misses her youth so she is playing catch up.
She should only wear it if she can pull it off.
This behaviour is common of young mothers.
I have a cousin who bore a child at a very young age similar to your mother's. Their situation has reached the point that they have jealous fights over each other's boyfriends.
It's sad.
whoa
There is "sexy" at all ages. One thing is staying young, one thing is not accepting aging.
36 is still young though.
Good old mutton dressed as lamb. When you have had too many beers you can't tell the difference, or don't care.
1. I don't see anything wrong with that unless she had a job where she had to maintain a certain "look".
2. Not all 20 year olds dress the same way.
Who you are as 20 and who you are at 36 are very different people but again it also it would depend on ones style
If you have the body for it then you can wear it but don't have a spare tire stomach and put on a crop top
They can do whatever they want, the fashion police don't exist
If you're asking can a 36 year old pull off the style of a 20s something? Yes. However, down the road she won't be.
the real question to ask here is how does your mom look like and is she interested in young males like me?
she has to book the flight tho 😂
She can, doesn't mean she should, depends on how her personality is and how she looks
People can do whatever they want. So yes. Who cares?
The can, but just look silly. How 'bout a 50yo? LOL
If the clothes look good on her then I think it is normal.
Do what you want, but as for my opinion it would depend how she looks in the clothes 😂
No one under 18 should be dressing in skimpy clothing.
This is normal if she started doing this at 20 and then she does it again at 36.
I'd say it's fine. But don't be surprised if she steals your boyfriends away from you. She's still young
I think it depends on the individual piece of clothing.
Let her, I’m sure she’s trying to re-live her youth. 💕
If she's as hot as the woman in the pictures, your mum can wear whatever she wants.
If she looks like that she most likely could sport black leather and look fantastic
If she looks like the girl in the pictures, OK by me! Don't forget you will be 36 in a few years!!!
I don't look like her
I don't dress much differently now than I ever have.
No, it is not. It can send the wrong messages and create unnecessary tensions and/or problems.
Yes she is trying to keep up with her daughter …...
If she's hot then it's fine. Is you dad jealous of her or something lol?
If she likes what she’s wearing why not?
Perhaps she likes your style and clothing selections or is horny and wants a fling or 2
Fuck yeah... if your hot its almost required to rock it
If I'm a mom I wouldn't compete with my daughter. I had my time, now it is hers.
Well yes and I fully support that. Not on board with her stealing your friends though.
No that looks hot. But also a bit "childish" so other people might have a problem with it.
Some can but the question is why are they starting to?
It works for gal in picture because she looks younger
Sure they can but maybe they should think about it before hand
Once you hit that 30 mark, you should try and look more representable and "mature".
No, they can't because it shows her immaturity and that she's a single mother
I mean she is fine because remember you will never know when it’s your last day live to your fullest even if she not in shape let her be!
It may be considered a bit unconventional by some, but it's not too far off from the norm.
