So is this an appropriate outfit?

Question

I was shopping at the mall today with my daughter who is two and some random lady stopped me and told me that my daughter was dressed inappropriate. She was wearing this outfit with tights. What do you think is it appropriate or not and what would you do?

Thanks for the answers

Answer 1

Id tell that lady to mind her own dang business.  

Answer 2

That's such a cute outfit. Maybe the woman just has weird opinions. i wouldn't take any notice of her.  

Answer 3

every one loves having an opinion about everyone else child to me this outfit is very tasteful and cute the lady was just probably having a crappy day and decided to be mean to you. i would just let it blow in one ear and out the other.  

Answer 4

that particular outfit isn't inappropriate, but little girls in short skirts and tight t-shirts or halters or spaghetti strapped tanks is very inappropriate (just mentioning that because I see moms dressing their kids like that ALL THE TIME .. I mean, do you really want mini s****s in your house?)

uhmm, I probably would've been like: "How I dress my children is none of your concern". then I would've walked away.

Answer 5

It's a downside of American Culture that so many people think that they have the right to tell other people what they should and shouldn't be doing - Especially when it comes to children.

If your child is well fed, groomed and in clean clothing (if it's matching even better - but hey not everyone is fashion-oriented) then tell the busy-bodies to stick it up their nose. ;-) You don't have to answer to everyone who happens to be rude enough to open their mouth with an opinion.

Cute outfit, btw. Good luck!

Answer 6

I think it's appropriate. That lady is on crack.

It's really cute.

:)

Answer 7

Yes!!! That's totally appropriate and really cute, too! Don't pay attention to them!

Answer 8

I think it is! Maybe the skirt is a bit short but with tights its fine!

Tell her to mind her own business!  

Answer 9

Answer 10

There is nothing wrong with that outfit. It is very cute. I had a woman come up to me and my daughter with a back handed compliment about her ear rings. She said they were very pretty, and then went on to tell me how God doesn't like ear rings, and we should read the bible...of course I told her where to go. I don't know what makes people feel they have the right to say things like that to others. The outfit is very cute, and I wouldn't worrry about what that crazy woman said to you.

Answer 11

of coarse not, it's an adorable outfit. that lady doesn't know what she's talking about, fancy stopping a mother to criticize the way her daughter is dressed

Answer 12

What I would do, is too late for you to do, as you're not still at the mall.

First of all, how you dress your child, or yourself, is really no ones business, unless you are somewhere where there is a dress code you must follow (job, school, whatever).

To be fair to the woman, the only thing I can think of was, was the skirt too short, and showed her bottom, and she thought some molester might take notice?

Regardless, still no ones business.

The outfit was cute, by the way.  

Answer 13

I don't see what's wrong with this outfit- at all! Your daughter is a BABY right? She was wearing a cute little T shirt, cute skirt and tights? What is the problem here?

That lady was probably mentally ill or just wanting to pick a fight. I would have told her to mind her own business and walk away. Who gets the nerve to walk up to somebody and do that anyway?!

Answer 14

that is totally not inappropriate it's actually really cute.. there is nothing wrong with the outfit except maybe the shirt because the ends of the end up in weird places, but it's not that bad at all.

Answer 15

tell the lady to go **** off.

Answer 16

It wasn't her place to say anything.That was really rude.But,maybe she meant that the brown skirt didn't go with the shirt and tights.Still,none of her business.

Answer 17

That's an adorable outfit! Was the lady a Mennonite or something? Don't worry about it. I'm sure she's a froot loop.

Answer 18

That's too cute!!! If I was two, I would totally wear that.

Maybe she thought it was inappropriate because the skirt was really short?

I would have smacked that woman and told her to mind her own buisness. ^.^

Answer 19

That woman is ridiculous! Your daughter is TWO!!! Two-year olds walk around half naked and that is acceptable, they were cute little bikinis at a pool, and that is acceptable.It's nearly impossible to find something inappropriate for a toddler to wear, because it is not like anything looks "suggestive" on them.  I think the outfit is completely cute and appropriate, that woman is a nut.  

Answer 20

I think thats cute. The lady was just weird.  I think that trashy "hip" trends on young girls is inappropriate, but thats fine.  THe skirts long enough, right?

Answer 21

hmmm...I don't see anything wrong with it.  I probably would have said "thank you" in the most sincerely thankful voice possible and walked away.

Answer 22

I'm going to assume this lady was probably in the 60's + age range or has absolutely not style.  Excuse my language as well, but this lady probably hasn't been laid in a long time if she has to time and gull to stop someone she doesn't know and suggest her opinion of someone elses child.  I absolutely loathe those kind of people.  Unless someone is asked for an opinion, that is one of the most incredibly rude things someone can do.

Answer 23

You know, before I looked at the pictures I was actually expecting there to be SOMETHING at least remotely inappropriate about it.

However, I didn't see a thing wrong with it.

Answer 24

What?  That is a darling and totally age appropriate outfit.  There are some trampy/teen-ager styles out there for very little girls, but this is not even close!  Gymboree is actually one of the best stores for age appropriate clothes.  I wouldn't give it another thought.

Answer 25

There is not a thing in the world wrong with that outfit. it's adorable. I don't know what that woman was thinking. I couldn't find anything inappropriate about it if I tried. Some people are just crazy

Answer 26

its a gorgeous outfit. i would of told the woman to mind her own d**n buisness.  

Answer 27

wow that lady should shut her mouth! that's such a cute outfit and i would dress my little girl like that if i had one. I bet she was an old lady right? i'm surprised she had the balls to say that.

Answer 28

I think it's really cute.  It's not like you letting a fourteen yr old girl run around in Daisy Duke's.  Who knows what that lady was thinking.

Answer 29

cute out fit... but it depends on how it fits your little girl would i say one way or the other...

was the skirt right below her butt line fitting her like a mini-skirt.... the yes i would have thought what that lady said...  or if the shirt left a gap showing her belly....

if the skirt was to her knees or cloe to there and the shirt was to the skirt the i would have thout "cute outfit"

Answer 30

Oh, for crying out loud! Some people just need to keep their nosy mouths shut! There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this outfit for a two year old whatsoever. It's quite adorable, actually. That lady was just rude. Try and ignore people like that.

Answer 31

I think it's a cute outfit, and not at all inappropriate. Sometimes you just run across weirdos who think you want their opinion. I would just forget about it.
