For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 02, 2022

for 30 years ago, that was considered naked. Appropriate attire for strippers.

nobody said anything but the principal will be

Not sure what the rules/standards were 30 years ago, had other things to worry about back then, but that sort of attire was just starting to appear in the female general public when I was in the last year of HS, the challenge for the HS girls was, since Slacks and shorts were outright banned and could reward with expulsion from the Public Schools, could they get through the entire day wearing culottes. The local Catholic girls had even tighter restrictions. The kind of thing Candice is wearing was not seen in schools, only on customers when I went to work. No allowed in any thing close to that for office women at the time.

LOL! Reminds me of a time when a girl wore a see-through blouse (with a conservative bra underneath) to work. We (her friends, really) teased her so relentlessly that she rushed home to change.

The fashion police will be out to get her

That warrants a call to her parents. “Inappropriate attire.”

The only way a transparent blouse looks right is over a very dressy camisole that you can wear on its own.

Usually it is one of the female “old bat” teachers has to initially complain, the male teachers just look.

When I was in high school, we called these “see-more” blouses.

If that is a see through blouse then why is her skin and arms colored gray? Is she sick?

When my daughter was in her first week of middle school she was “coded” for wearing an “inappropriate” outfit. It was a long shirt – just covering the butt – with leggings. It turned out that the shirt wasn’t long enough. She’s 19 now – college freshman – and a long shirt with leggings is still one of her favorite styles of outfit.

maybe they should be…

My sister the high school teacher told me that the girls who really wanted attention wore mini-skirts with no panties.

Well, I suppose someone has to enforce the dress code. Probably someone who isn’t getting paid enough for all that crap.

My jr. high math teacher wore a VERY short mini. She didn’t know a thing about math but she had every male’s undivided attention!

No one has said anything because they are enjoying the view for a bit. THEN they will pretend to be shocked and make her cover up.

The closest I got to this was in 10th grade, 1963. I once wore a flowered print bra with a white blouse for a bet. So reckless! ; )

Just how much can you see?

The girls in my grade school wore skirts. They came out with a new dress code which lowered the length to 1.5 inches above the knee. That day they all marked their knees with pens so they new what the length had to be

Very low self-esteem. Too bad….

If that’s the Principal, he’s a dirty old man!!!

No doubt there is a future strip where Candace will have new attire: a drab gray uniform, which is appropriate for her future home: Tutweiler Women’s Prison.

Last season of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER—-probably 1963.

Beaver and three classmates take an oath to wear “hideous monster design” shirts to school.

Beaver is the only one who makes it out the door,and heis immediately ordered to change.(He has nothing to change into).

Panel 4—and that’s the school Doctor!!

I Graduated High School In 2016. The Closest I Got To This Was In 7th Grade When I Forgot To Chance Out Of My Gym Clothes (Shorts Didn’t Match Dress Code, But I Think The Gym Teachers Had The Rules A Little Bit Less Strict Than The Rest Of The School). My Girl Friends And I Were Scratching Our Heads, Wondering Why Those Rules Were In Place. We Knew That It Was Wrong, And Why It Was Wrong And Probably Wouldn’t Have Done It More Than Once Or Twice A Year (If Those Rules Weren’t In Place, I Can Think Of A Handful Of Girls Who I Graduated With, Who Would Have Done This Everyday It Was Warm Enough To Do It).

Well, no wonder nobody has said anything. The shock of Candace’s outfit has caused everybody to clamp their hands over their mouths!!

I remember 50 years ago or back in 1974 to 1975, a teen girl was wearing one of those mess tops see through, she did have proper covering, I do not think the principal back then talked with her. Oh and me I was not that teen girl, I was proper covered cause if I was not my mom never stand for that to leave the house as she did.

Don’t jump all over me cause I have a bad memory, but is Candace the girl who encouraged the girls to smoke and was possibly sexually abused by her dad?

Candace seems to be a troubled young lady.

Personal opinion: If that’s a bikini top, then fine, but I think it’s a bra, in which case it’s inappropriate.

I remember in HS, a friend (nickname Carrot Stick, which gives an idea), wore a daring blouse like that one, but it had strategic pockets on the front, and she went topless. And nobody noticed. She had to tell us on the way home.
