What Not To Wear
Coach: I am guessing that you want to know what I think about this show. This show bothers me. I don't like to watch it. I feel these two fashion experts (Clinton and Stacy) are ganging up on Lexa and imposing on her what they think is fashion acceptable. I think whatever you wear, no matter what it is, should reflect your personality and nobody elses so who are they to say what is appropriate and what isn't. I think today anything goes and we should embrace individuality. I would like to say a few mean things to that Stacey chick. Beauty is on the inside not outside. We put way too much emphasis on the outside anyway. So you can see why this show gets on my nerves. I think we need to dress for ourselves and not others! If you do not feel comfortable that will show on the outside. That Stacey chick told Lexa not to sweat the small stuff but it is the small stuff that is so irritating! Everytime Lexa said "This is just weird", I wanted to laugh. GO GIRL, TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK!

I'm sorry you didn't quite understand the underlying concept of this show.
ReplyDeleteIn our profession society thinks we are babysitters and look down on us. Part of communication is the non verbal communication that comes from our dress. There are ways to send a professional message with our dress.
When in the classroom, the caregiver should set the tone that she/he is a professional. Tee shirts with Drink more Corona and jeans with the knees torn out send a negative tone. Parents will not see the caregiver as a child care professional and this erodes the confidence in suggestions or observations that could help the child.
What Stacy and Clinton say is harsh but it is true none the less. I know the episode you watched. that girl, Lexa, had been homeless but had fought her way from the streets, put herself through college and was trying to work in the professional workplace. Her clothes said, she had street mentality and I can guarantee you, she did not have the respect of those who come and go with quick judgement.
This show is not so much about beauty or fashion as it is common sense and self esteem. The information found in these shows, and if you watch long enough, you will find a few that feel like they fit each of us, there will be information that will make a big difference in one's practice.
20/20 for watching and blogging.
