My younger daughter is on the hunt for a job. She has put in a lot of applications and is just waiting to get a nibble from some company. With that in mind, she wanted to get a nice outfit for going to interviews. She was thinking of a black pant suit and I figured that shouldn't be too difficult to come by. We even had a gift card from Christmas for a large department store and counted on the whole shopping trip to take less than an hour.
We got to the store and they are having a lot of sales. We happily begin looking and found . . . nothing! The tops were either too short or cut too low . . . or both which made for a high price for not much fabric. The skirts were short, short, short. If they were long, they were made out of transparent fabric that didn't quite give the impression of a person serious about finding office work.
After browsing seriously for an hour at the department store, I decided that even with a higher cost, we'd try a couple of stores that were of a higher caliber and should have something decent for going to job interviews. Nope! Just more expensive for basically the same lack of fabric.
We then thought about getting a nice pair of dress slacks and fixing it up with a nice shirt and jacket. The dress slacks were cut two inches below the waist. The jackets were just plain weird. Since this was not a teen section for clothing, you had to wonder about the 30-plus office workers who were wearing these items.
There was a time when you could get both sides of the clothing factor. Sure, there wasn't as much choice for modest clothing but it was available. Does the majority of the world really want to dress immodestly? Why haven't the mothers of the world objected? Judging from the other shoppers, the mothers of the world were buying into immodest attire.
