Are you guys nuts? These ladied are in college...you are delusional! All their friends are probably in grubby t-shirts with filthy lettering, jeans with huge holes in them, multiple piercings, tattoos, black lipstick and nail polish...

You guys gotta understand that these college girls are "dressed up" in comparison...

And although I would prefer they dress nicer, in the end, they live at school, their mom and dad live in Washington, and have little control over their college age children. What are you gonna do, ground them?

"little control over their college age children."

The golden rule. He who pays the gold, sets the rules.

I have a daughter who is a junior at Rice. She dresses demurely, behaves like a perfect young lady, and is getting excellent grades while majoring in Chemical Engineering.

The secret to having well behaved teenagers is to develop a good report with them while they are still young.

My daughter was home schooled from the third grade until she began attending community college full time at the age of fifteen.

I have raised a teenager.

If the parents get it into their children's heads, throughout the years they are growing up, that it is important to dress modestly, they are far less likely to crash the fashion guard rails when they are selecting their own clothing as adults.

Allowing for the occasional fashion faux pas that young people are going to make, I still do not see evidence that mom and dad got that principle into these two.
