Two women dressed in the most ill-fitting suits I have ever have the misfortune to see just walked by my office

I think it may have something to do, also, with the fact that people don't know how to dress up any longer. I see it wherever I go - formal early evening weddings where more than one guest shows up wearing wrinkled khakis and the polo shirt they spent the day golfing in (this happened at both my son's weddings). People who show up at the grocery store shopping, I kid you not, in grubby pjs and grubbier fuzzy slippers (this happens A LOT). People who think "business casual" means Daisy Duke ripped shorts and a midriff baring halter top! It got so bad at one point, several local churches now issue "what to wear that's appropriate" guidelines for Sunday summer services, and they've had to say things like "Swimming trunks and muscle shirts are not appropriate for morning services..." I'm surprised your people even dug out ties!

I think you're right, and nobody knows how to dress properly anymore-- or even realizes that there *is* such a concept.

Dear God. I just realized something . . . CLEARLY I AM GETTING OLD.

In the spirit of schadenfreude, I saw a woman in Blockbuster one night, who was not only in her pajamas and slippers, curlers in her hair, but who WAS ALSO WEARING HER BATHROBE.

I have a great deal of sympathy for your Aunt Lavinia, suddenly! ;)

Looking at our library, I have a hard time looking sideways at someone for crap presentation. ;)

[redfirecracker]

You mean us, the staff? Or the general quality of the library?

The library itself. Visually, wow do we look like we aren't trying very hard.
