I dream of the past.

Sometimes, I wonder if I was born in the correct time period or not.

The wardrobes of women of the past are SO different compared to what we wear today. For example, in the 1800's, dresses NEVER went above the ankle. Not that I'm wishing we could go back to that, but think about it. They never had to worry about modesty because everything they wore was modest (except for the dresses that were low-cut). Today, I'm lucky enough to find a dress that will even hit my knees, A) because I'm freakishly tall for a girl and B) because, for some reason, designers think that a couple of yards of fabric equals one dress. I see movies and pictures of the different time periods, and while they may not be exactly correct as to how women dressed back then, the dresses in those movies and pictures were beautiful.

Tonight, it occurred to me that back in the day, women wore little to no makeup, and were considered beautiful, even gorgeous. Nowadays, a woman not wearing makeup is automatically assumed to either be tired or having a bad day. Makeup has been marketed to make us women think that without it, we are not worthy of the attention from a man. Yes, it is acceptable to wear the bare minimum. But some girls today take it too far.

What the heck happened to us?!

Tonight, I shall dream of a simpler time, in which women weren't so low as to think that showing as much skin as possible and caking on the makeup would make them appear beautiful.
