What up guys, welcome to the Just Pearly Things YouTube channel and welcome to Morning Coffee
00:00:05.220
Thoughts where I give my thoughts over morning coffee.
00:00:07.800
Today I'm actually eating steak, not coffee, but I wanted to talk about this new thing
00:00:17.400
So if you guys follow my Twitter, which is at Pearly Things, you'll see I've started
00:00:21.880
a series where I am rating if women's outfits are appropriate if you're a wife and a mother.
00:00:30.600
Now, why do I say appropriate for a wife and a mother?
00:00:40.520
But I would say under the age of 25, you have, you can claim naivety.
00:00:48.560
Men and women both do stupid shit when they're young.
0.54
00:00:51.660
You know, they're more reckless, they're doing whatever, they're raised by the culture to
00:00:56.560
But over the age of 25, or especially when you have children as a woman, you're meant
0.98
00:01:07.580
Now, I want to start by saying I am not without sin.
00:01:10.920
This is not saying that I have never worn things that are inappropriate.
00:01:14.080
I'm six foot, and I grew up playing volleyball.
00:01:18.360
And in volleyball, really, you're wearing spandex from the age of 12 in front of hundreds
00:01:24.100
So you sort of grow up not really honestly thinking much of short stuff because, I mean,
00:01:34.200
And I actually came to the realization that a lot of the stuff I was wearing was way too
00:01:42.240
And it actually frustrated me a lot because I just could not find clothes that didn't
00:01:46.640
look like a grandma and were long enough on me.
00:01:55.000
I started looking at the influencers that kind of label themselves as more like trad or
00:02:03.080
And I realized that a lot of them sort of dressed like hookers.
1.00
00:02:08.840
And what I wanted to point out is not attacking them personally, but just something we can learn
00:02:13.720
about the outfits you pick and the way you choose to represent yourself in public and
00:02:20.400
So I really just felt like it was time to start a movement.
00:02:25.000
Or we say, ladies, especially when you are a wife and a mother, because that is a role,
0.99
00:02:42.740
I go back and I look at pictures from the 1900s, even the 1940s and 50s, and that's still
00:02:55.920
Now, the problem with women is we tend to go with what's cool, trendy, and in the culture.
1.00
00:03:02.880
And the issue with that is when women do do what is cool, trendy, and in the culture,
1.00
00:03:09.000
the trends that are trendy now are very provocative.
00:03:11.360
And the entire media and marketing is trying to sell clothes and dresses towards women that
00:03:19.240
And yeah, I just thought we should really have a conversation as women.
0.84
00:03:24.780
And I really wanted to know, especially women's thoughts in the comments, what do traditional
0.98
00:03:31.960
What should be deemed appropriate and what should be deemed inappropriate?
00:03:37.680
So I had a couple things that I wanted to start with that were inappropriate.
00:03:42.460
Um, I think we should start, and I'm not saying we can't go further, guys.
00:03:49.580
But I think as a start, um, because we are in 2023, let's start by putting the upper thigh
00:03:57.960
away, the mid-drift away, and the upper thigh, the mid-drift away, the boobs away, the butt
1.00
00:04:15.980
Um, I think at some point we can have a conversation about yoga pants, but that's a different day.
00:04:21.060
Um, and I think that's a start, ladies, um, because at some point, becoming a wife and
0.99
00:04:29.280
And when you are adapting and becoming that role, you know, you're not supposed to dress
00:04:37.980
Now, the pushback I get is from these mothers that are older than me and claim they look better
1.00
00:04:45.820
But, um, but it's not a good look when you're 45 years old and you're cosplaying as a 22-year-old.
00:04:54.620
Younger women dress differently than older women, and they are meant to.
1.00
00:04:59.780
You are meant to be valued for different things when you are older because looks fade for everybody.
00:05:06.760
And if we can't have an honest conversation about what's modest and what's immodest, you
00:05:13.340
know, I'm just trying to start the conversation.
00:05:16.640
Um, so this, these mothers and wives will start tweeting at me their selfies, which again
1.00
00:05:24.500
Like, go, and, you know, it's one thing to wear something immodest for your husband.
00:05:31.380
Well, I look like this and I dress like this for my husband.
00:05:34.200
But my question is, why are there pictures of you online?
00:05:38.820
Why are there pictures of you online for the world to see if it's for your husband?
00:05:43.860
And I started to think about how people sort of look at the man a little bit funny when
00:05:52.540
I went to a business dinner a couple of months ago and this girl came with one of the business
00:05:59.240
guys and this woman was dressed like a complete hooker.
1.00
00:06:03.120
She was dressed like it was, it was ridiculous.
00:06:06.060
Her boobs were, I'm like, I thought we were talking about business.
0.80
00:06:15.480
Um, and it makes you look at the guy funny because you think, why aren't you protecting
00:06:21.780
your chick from the world who is obviously going to look, you know, you know what I mean?
00:06:29.600
Um, and it's an honest conversation about what is appropriate.
00:06:36.800
And as a man, do you have a responsibility to look out for your woman and make sure that
00:06:42.700
Now I know women in 2023 say men can't tell me anything, but I really do think that's
1.00
00:06:51.940
And on top of that, you know, I could say the same thing for men in sweatsuit and sneakers.
00:06:58.860
You know, I had a co-host, um, that, you know, that, that who shall not be named, who decided
00:07:08.620
Um, who, when we first started the show together, I sort of told him to, you know, up the dress
00:07:18.240
And, you know, again, over a certain age, it's time to dress like an adult.
00:07:28.860
What's appropriate and what's inappropriate and do the men have some responsibility in
00:07:37.780
