My aunts grew up in the Bronx. Three to a bed, all manner of family coming and going. Lot’s of kids, Not a lot of money.

You know that money is necessary to dressing appropriately.

These people made successes out of their lives and their kids’ loves by acting and dressing with dignity and order.

Anyway, this is terrible.

Whoa!

I certainly meant money is NOT necessary to dressing appropriately

Crazy, I go, when people say ‘oh the dress code to thus thing or that can’t can’t be jacket and tie’, The troops can’t afford ... What? A blue sport coat lasts for what? Twenty years if it’s not worn a lot. A tie is how much? At tjmaxx or goodwill

How can anyone dream of any kind of earning power or success if they can’t figure out how to get a black skirt and a pair of black pumps and put them in a closet and get hold of a decent coat and take care of it. Hang it up and do what my father used to tell us to do ad nauseum ‘keep your hands out of your pockets

Oy
