Oddly enough when I was growing up my Mother pressured me to wear the most current thing, I was not comfortable with alot of the things...she would always tell me "everyone is wearing it", I would tell her that tended to make me think it was probably not a good idea...she used to get SO mad at me.
my mom passed 2 years ago his July and I will alwaysremember her saying, "don't do as I do; do as I say do!"
Man did I pass that along to my own...LOL
