My mom let me wear anything and everything so I can’t share these stories of deprivation. I don’t allow my daughter to wear those shirts which show her stomach, because I feel it doesn’t look right.

On Saturday I was in the park watching my son practice soccer and also watching was a little girl of three or four. She and her mother were having a big fight because the little girl wanted to wear her white patent leather platforms in the mud and grass – the little girl won with the best whining.
