No Style

I mean this literally.

Sunday I was at church, and as I do, I was wearing a late 50's, retro skinny tie. I like skinny ties.

Two individuals approached me, laughed, and said I looked like I was from an 80's band. ( Since I was wearing an Italian suit I did not look like I was from an 80's band...)

I politely said it was a retro 50's tie. They did not believe it and continued with the 80's band schtick.

The ignorance within the walls of the ward building is beyond belef. Screw them.

Re: No Style

There is a very specific dress code - cultural style conformance. Doesn't matter where you live, if you go to church on Sunday, everybody is basically wearing a variation of the same thing. For women, it's very Down East Basic. A form fitting top and long skirt. Occasionally something else. They are conformist, not individualistic.

Re: No Style

Theoretically, as much as I dig the form fitting top, should they not be immodest?

Re: No Style

form-fitting means cut to shape, not loose or baggy. It does not mean tight or too small.

Re: No Style

Oh, I have seen a lot of very tight and too small being worn around one of the Lord's universities. I will have to readjust my thinking. Those are not form fitting.

Mormonism is about conformity not style. (n/t)
