      True. As someone who does a lot of working from home, the mother's idea about keeping herself groomed to keep up her morale resonates with me. During lockdown I often didn't shower or brush my teenth before starting my workday. But in the long run, I feel more "professional" somehow when I do a normal morning routine as if I were going to the office.

    • @stevennguyen4993
      @stevennguyen4993 9 месяцев назад +8

      People mention how young men and women were very attractive back then. Others contradict that this is attraction bias: attractive people are more likely to have their photographs distributed to the public. But I largely disagree. Walking through my college's law school and other academic departments, men and women dressed up and were well-groomed in appearance. Obesity was barely a thing, and everyone looked more mature. Then everything started goimg downhill around 1978 (hippie era), 1980's (more extreme of the hippie era, but everyone had that dahmer look), but calming back down in the 1990's and 2000's. Still evident in 2010's and 2020's but the clean looks are largely making it back

      All those products are poison. This is why they made movies like this telling us we must use them. Get out to nature and see how that improves your outlook. The corporations just want us enslaved to their products, and sick. Sun screen is pure poison. Coconut oil can protect you just fine. The Sun causing cancer was just another sales ploy. The sun gives you vitamins, and now we are all getting vitamin deficient. All by design. Get out and help your neighbor. helping others is the biggest mood boost.

I feel old wearing my flared jeans popular in the early 2000s now skinny jeans are in. but I say screw it I hate skinny jeans lol. I liked the girls outfit. if she had straight hair and wore flats or high heels it would be acceptable today for work or if one was a teacher.

      I dress the way Sue does quite a lot. A large portion of my closet is either vintage, thrifted or inspired by it. I don't think it makes me look old, just old fashioned. Definitely doesn't blend in with the crowd though.

    I have gone through a lot of comments and have to say that part of being well groomed is also how we all talk to each other. Crude and rude comments, off color jokes and cursing only show lack of morals and reflect on what kind of people we really are. If will stood up straight and be considerate to each other, then we just might not have the world we have today.

      For real, as tempting as it is to throw on sweats and grab Starbucks every morning, it totally wrecks my mood. That extra 30 minutes of getting dressed, making coffee, and doing my hair and makeup makes me feel so much more energized and capable throughout the day. Plus, personally I'm at a point in my life where I'm applying to doctoral programs and spend a lot of time with professors who may be my letter of recommendation writers. I feel like I'm respecting their time and efforts more if I'm dressed as nicely as they are. That being said, I also have a lot of tattoos and piercings and unnaturally dyed hair. So I feel like it's extra important for me to be well groomed and very polite, since so many people think I'm a devil worshipper or something before getting to know me.

Not a lot of time spent on makeup, none of my friends wore it. No pants on girls for school, knee length skirts or dresses only except for gym class. No tattoos, piercings, pink or purple hair, very few pierced ears even. Girls wore flats, white tennis shoes, saddle shoes with white socks, or sandals in summer. No open campus in high school.

    "For your success depends a great deal on how you look." This is very true. We all know it, but back then they acknowledged it, and used it to their advantage.
    It is not about genetic beauty; it is how to make the most of what you have. To look your best. To have good style, and carry yourself in the right way. To take care of yourself, and be put together. This is respect for others and yourself, and it opens more doors for you, than if you did nothing.
    This is really very valuable advice, if you use it right.

    I wish we had a homemaking department in all contemporary schools, with a version beginning in primary school to introduce and ingrain certain behaviours and domestic philosophies into humans at a very young age. You see this in Korean and Japanese schools with how conscientious they are taught to be; just watch videos that film a Japanese school's lunchtime from start to finish. They all muck in with the cleaning and sweeping and tooth brushing etc etc. A communal, considerate and purposeful sequence of behaviours that become entirely natural in a relatively short amount of time and stick with a human until the end of their days. We don't have this in the West. When people get older they need new domestic and personal care skills to comprehend the importance of, the context in which they have profound power. So many children do not have parents who are not just willing to, but able to, teach them these certain self-care and domestic skills. I don't think people realise this. It's never the child's fault. It's not to do with whether the child is loved, it's to do with the parents mentality and deficit in parenting skills. Some kids have hardworking, preoccupied parents who've dropped the ball without realising it, or conversely, kids are born of poorly educated, culturally unsophisticated parent/s who were not educated and steered well themselves either (with regards to social etiquette, cultural education and the prosaic daily skills of taking care of your home and body. I won't even get on to the topic of moral guidance and the teaching of the concept of civic duty and respect for strangers). So much, if not taught at school leaves a real educational deficit, one that for so many underprivileged kids of various stripes, is just not picked up domestically by the parent/s either.
    Homemaking Department...oh I can but dream this will return and not in some kitsch or controversial retrograde form. Our rapidly crumbling Western Society needs an educational revolution-- and not in the way most foghorn activists would envision the term 'revolution' in this context. :(

    These videos are incredibly inspiring. I pared down my wardrobe and decided to buy mostly timeless looking pieces (some are true vintage too). What I notice is that the reason a lot of the older finds stand the test of time is not just the simplicity and elegance of the design (40s/50s were modest times) but also the colour choices, materials and make. I find a lot of items are natural or sturdy man-made fibres and almost everything is lined. Often all I need to do is take them to a seamstress to tailor them and fix any minor flaws and it really elevates the look.

      Captain Mercurian wanna hear a joke?
      Two guys and a girl are stranded on a desert island.
      After a week or more, nature just kicked in, and you know stuff happened among the girl and the two men.
      But after a short amount of time the girl just felt worthless and ashamed of what she was doing that she killed herself.
      After a month or so, the to guys were kind of looking at each other for answers. And you know nature just kicked in, and stuff happened.
      But after a short amount of time the two men realised the immorality of their actions, and decided to let the corpse rest in peace

It was a major problem for people who worked in clock factories. A much larger problem for most people was all the asbestos and lead pretty much everywhere. But I'm sure they thought it was fine, at least everything wasn't made with or dipped in arsenic like in the Victorian Era. 🤦‍♀️ Smh.

    I wish we could go back to the days when good quality clothing was relatively affordable, easily available, could be repaired and could stand a lot of washing. I don't just mean fashionable clothes but everyday things like jeans. I live in a town in Scotland which used to have a lot of textile mills. There was a shop which off loaded cut price clothes that the mills couldn't sell to chain stores because they had minor faults (like a button out of place). You could buy clothes there which lasted for years. That was in the nineties. Sadly the mills are all gone now

    • @elliegreen4738
      @elliegreen4738 9 месяцев назад

      @evelynwilson
      I agree with you.
      I'm always thinking those thoughts too because the shops here in Ireland have had mostly clothes in poor quality fabric for the past few years.
      Many smaller clothes shops have closed down since convid.
      Glad I found a summer dress in good quality cotton in an M&S sale last October and I was lucky to find a few denim skirts there early this summer.
      Apart ftom that it's been difficult to get clothes in durable, comfortable and natural material anywhere in a design that's flattering and modest with a neckline that's not too near the throat.
      I remember the days when every town and city had clothes shops filled with nice clothes made from good quality material with lots of cotton, linen, wool, tweed, leather, fur and others, now it's mostly nylon made from recycled plastic and other horrible fibres that feel uncomfortable to the touch.
      Every shopper I see approaches the garments and immediately feels them nowadays and often walks past because most people long for the natural materials of the past.
      Some of the clothes look lovely until you feel them and even if they feel okay and are cotton, it's usually a poor quality, semi transparent cotton that isn't going to last long.
      Damm the selfish rich Elites behind the UN and their Agenda 21 Plan for Sustainable Development, they'll still be eating meat,wearing leather shoes, wearing natural fabrics while flying in their private jets, while we get crammed in to cities and culled so that they can restore the land to nature.
