Our society is plagued with a severe casualness. People no longer get the stare down for grocery shopping in purple sponge-bob pajama pants and a Tinkerbelle t-shirt. Observe some of these atrocities courtesy of peopleofwalmart.com...
And my personal favorite... Darth Vader's personal assistant.
Of course society will always have its weirdos.
So what happened to shirts and ties at Sunday church services? Just the other day I was reading the August edition of InStyle and something like 71% of women think a LBD (little black dress) is acceptable attire to a Black Tie event. Seriously?!?! If you're going to pay a pretty penny to attend such an event, wouldn't you want to go all out and dress to the nines?
So what brought us to this point? I can't help but think that technology has played a significant part. We've traded courtesy for convenience. In a sort of trickle down effect, its changed our way of life from what we wear to what we do in friendly company. What do you think fellow bloggers? Do you think we've relaxed too much?
