"Don't Judge the Way I Dress"

 

I decided to do my photo assignment about the judgment and stereotypes about the way women  dress. I asked my friend to participate in my assignment by picking out an outfit she would typical wear to go out. That she feels comfortable but at the same time has gotten bad feedback about her outfit. She picked a red shirt that shows her stomach and a cute flowery skirt that is short. I think she looks very nice and cute I would wear the same outfit. At the same time she has told me how people have make comments about that she is barely wearing clothes or that she looks slutty or that she is thirsty for a man's attention. Which is fallen into stereotypes about how society see women trying to dress. Judging someone's appearance in any sort of way is given them stereotypes of who they are. Which is a commonly issue in society today, because popular culture thinks women are trying to dress in some type of way so they can get attention. When in reality "we" and I say we because I also have had the same problems of how I dress and be called those names and asked if I don't owned any clothes. Were not trying to be slutty or dress as a skank to get someone's attention I dress like that because I like the way I look. It's clothes I like buying at my favorite store, I feel comfortable of being able to show my stomach not to be sexy but just to be looking nice. It does not define who I am and I should not be judge or be called names.
That is the problem with society nothing is ever good enough, if a women wears not so much clothes she's trying to be a slut but when she wears a long dress and is covered up she looks bad and is trying to dress like an old lady. The posted the picture with my friend and I because this was a picture I took of us when we were going out, I never thought of using it in my assignment but it was last Friday. You can see our stomach and we are wearing tight leggings. I wanted to show how I do like to wear this kind of clothes on a typical base, but I also always get asked "don't you have more clothes to put on?"
Yes, I might be influence of the things I wear because of the media, because obviously I look at magazines I see what trends are in and which one is last season. I also know what does look good on me and what I feel comfortable, it is not because I am trying to dress so I can get judge in society I dress how I want to be dress. WHY JUDGE ME IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME.
