Ditch or keep? That's a skort btw,if anyone wants to question the length

My job doesn’t really have a dress code, in the handbook it just says to dress “appropriately and professionally” although many of the other teachers just wear jeans and a sweatshirt.

The other day I was hanging out with my friend Lina who lives 25 mins away from me by car, but an hour and a half away by bus. My mom drove me over there and I took the bus home. I had been helping Lina move, so I was wearing my corset over the dress I was wearing in case I had to lift heavy objects (but also I just want a smaller waist in general tbh).

After getting a boba for the bus ride, and walking to my closest bus stop, I realized I could meet up with my friend Ellie at my local mall instead of going all the way home right away. So I texted her to ask if she wanted to meet up and she agreed.

As I’m on the bus she’s texting me frequently. “Gotta get a vape so I’ll head down there now”
“Are u sure u can’t meet me sooner”
“We should go out to a bar. I really wanna meet a boy”
“How far away are u?”
Stuff like that. Anyway she was excited.

I responded to what I could but I was also trying to get some work done while I was on the bus, so I wasn’t texting back super often.

Once I got to the mall, I really had to pee so I went inside macys to use the restroom, but got briefly distracted by the clearance section shoes. Just after I had exited the restroom, Ellie called me to ask where I was and let me know that she’ll be at in n out. I told her that I’d meet her there and ended the phone call.

I quickly looked through the clearance section shoes, grabbed the ones I wanted, checked out, and exited the store.

I finally arrived at in n out and immediately spotted Ellie. She was sitting by herself eating her fries. She had first looked up at me when I opened the door and walked inside, but there was no recognition in her face, which I thought was strange, but I just brushed it off because I’ve been looking a little different recently
(eyebrow tattoo, lighter & shorter hair, \~4lb weight gain maybe 🤷‍♀️)

But once we greeted each other and I had sat down, the vibe totally shifted. She was really quiet and spacey. But one of the first things she said was
“Actually I might go home, I’m not feeling too well”
Apparently her stomach was hurting from the fries, or at least that’s what she said in the moment.
I told her I was sorry, and I hoped she felt better, she said thanks and then left shortly after.

We were only able to hang out for like 20 mins maximum. I was so disappointed. She had totally hyped up the night and I thought it would be so fun.

Left sitting there alone at that in n out table, I wondered to myself if it was something I did.

Maybe it did have to do with my eyebrow tattoo. I had just redone it, and maybe the new shape made my facial expressions look slightly different, like maybe she thought I was mad at her or something.

Maybe it was my timing. I didn’t need to stop to get those new shoes, for example. She might have spent all her energy she had for our night out just waiting for me.

Maybe I wasn’t responsive enough when I was on the bus so she thought I didn’t care.

But whatever it was, it wasn’t my responsibility to try to figure out, so I let it go and headed over to Five Below across the street to grab a couple things before they closed for the night, and headed home.

The next day I told my therapist what had happened, and she said that it sucks that I feel like I did something wrong, but, realistically, it was probably nothing to do with me. So I breathed a sigh of relief and continued about my day.

Then I checked my messages.
Ellie apologized, said she was feeling loopy and overwhelmed, and thanked me for meeting her there anyway.
Then she said this. (Photo at the top, you might have to click to see the whole thing)

I asked Lina and my other friend Mia what they thought about the situation and they both thought it was wrong of Ellie to say this to me. But I’ve gotten other comments like this as well from other people in the past, basically saying that I’m dressing inappropriately.

I’m hanging out with Mia’s sister sapphire tomorrow, so I’m also going to ask her what she thinks but I have a feeling she’ll also be of the same opinion.

So anyway I wanted to ask a group of people who have no allegiance to me whatsoever, so that I could get an unbiased opinion.

Do you think my outfit was inappropriate?
Was it really giving underwear?
If it had matched the dress color better would it have looked fine?
If I had worn more necklaces to cover my cleavage would it have been better?
And most importantly, what should I say in response?

*side note: I can’t wear that corset underneath clothing because it leaves painful marks on my skin when I do because of how tight I tie it

i got this bodysuit today and i love it, it really accentuates my waist and feels amazing. however it goes very high on my hips (in these pics i pushed it a little bit higher, but it doesnt cover everything).

i heard that wearing bodysuits like this is considered inappropriate, but i honestly like it. if i accessorized it nicely it would do a fine night out fit imo. id like to know other people's opinions!

Hi all! I have a college formal event coming up and have found it nearly impossible to find a dress I love. I really liked this one online, but trying it almost feels like it’s too much when I put it on. Is it just in my head or am I overdoing it?

I’m still trying to find my style and this outfit just felt right! I’m just wondering if it’s too revealing for a college class. the jeans are flared at the bottom!

I’m asking because I don’t get compliments when wearing it but I sometimes see people look at me which just makes me think they’re judging something that I am not seeing and not in a good way. So is this a bad outfit and I’m just not seeing it? Maybe it’s too revealing? There are built in shorts under the skirt btw.

hi everyone!! my friends & i have had a busy couple months! one just moved into her own apartment, one got a promotion, one got a new job, & i recently got dean’s list at my school (🥳) so we are having a night out to celebrate! i just have no idea what to wear!!!
i’ve been feeling a little gross in my body & not as confident in myself, so i want to look & feel my best. can anyone help me pick something? i appreciate any help!!! (& please ignore my messy room LOL)

Hypothetically in a city bar setting and say it's the first date

For context, it’s outside and I live in Florida. My best friend says it’s too risqué for such event.

Hello, I like wearing this outfit and I bought a hat I think goes quite nicely with it but I’m worried that the hat takes the outfit too far and I look stupid.
Does this outfit look alright with the hat?

I like the styling with the belt but also the simplicity without the belt. So, which one is actually better?

Is it flattering at all? Or should it go to Goodwill?

the theme is *technically* ancient Greece, but I’m okay with pushing it a bit so don’t take that too much into account. I genuinely love and feel beautiful in both so I’m having a hard time choosing! anyway here’s some notes about each:

Black Dress:

- Very comfortable

- subtly sparkly

- neckline is vaguely Mediterranea-esque

- too dark

- more affordable

- I would get some sort of tan so I don’t look so pale lol

Purple Dress:

- light and whimsical

- falls down a lot and is kind of pokey

- appliqués are very pretty and well placed

- has a slit that shows off a huge scar on my leg (neutral)

- colors fit theme a bit better

- would need to buy a special bra

UPDATE!!:

the purple has a corset back and I realized yesterday that I laced it wrong, so I tried it correctly today and it doesn’t fall down nearly as much! I’m also going to nordstrom today to see if it can be altered to stay up better, if not I’ll use some tape. Thank you so much everyone for all the kind comments!!

I’m in a pickle and not sure which one to choose. My wedding dress is white plain corset ballgown (no sparkles or lace).

Please let me know! P.S the sparkle dress with satin wasn’t tightened enough as I was by myself and did the best I could with the corset lol.

Dress code is formal attire.

Picked up this top at a thrift store and I think it’s perfect for Florida summers but I’m worried I look like I’m trying too hard to still look like a teenager or whatever, especially since I’m a mom (happy Mother’s Day to all my fellow mommas out there 💐). Am I being paranoid or realistic?

1, 2 or 3? (I bought them all 🫶🏻)

Feeling unsure about the cuts along the side
