WHY DRESS THIS WAY!!!



What a chilly weather here in Nairobi, Kenya am sure most of you  are complaining about this weather as am. We must say it’s a winter season in Nairobi, we have to get all the warm clothes from our closet just to keep us warm  right!!!
I was surprised this morning as I went at the  stage to board a Matatu  to come at the office,  as I was waiting for Matatu a lady  at the stage was wearing a micro-miniskirt and a slave less top she wore is such that half of her breast were  out, with beads on the waist  and terrible make up  I was like OMG!!!  This what I call indecent dressing What a world we are living in?

Most  Men in the stage were like Waaaaat she is this  she is that !!! At that moment I just wished I was not in that stage .

Something came up in my mind that were discussing with my fellow  colleagues at the  office sometimes back why one of my colleague would  marry a Village Girl maybe  is because of this scenario, perhaps  not a single day will a village girl dress like this.

We are living in a modern world which I agree but does it mean we go showing of our  belonging to each and everyone on the street all in the name of  Fashion?

I Remember vividly  the world that were said by one of my colleague who said that he will marry a village girl I now get what he was trying to say, he said,” Here in the city there so many beautiful ladies than there are at the village, but have ever asked yourself why most of them are not married? (just breathing in). Nobody had an answer especially we ladies.
 
He asked a question City  ladies are  beautiful ,educated and some very smart but would who take them to your  mother at the village for your mother to welcome them as your wive?,Nothing wrong with this city ladies the only proplem they  dress with half of her breast and buttocks outside. The trouser she wore is such that half of her buttock was out, with beads and terrible make ups

Indecent dressing simply means deliberate exposure of one’s body to the public. This practice is contrary to the acceptable norms and values of the society.
Moral decadence on the other is a reduction in the level of morality in the society. Do you observe that most children had gone haywire all in the name of the dressing?

Indecent dressing is the major cause of the various assault and sexual harassment recorded in the society, over time. As a result of civilization, Most ladies dress half naked to occasions all in the name of fashion’ and this is contrary to the prestige placed on African women.
 
The other day I screamed when I saw a girl whose parent barely fed well, and I heard her mum telling her “to have a nice day.”

Some girls have been embarrassed and even abused because of their outrageous outfit.


As a teenager you must be cautious of the kind of clothes you put on. Do you know your dress create impression about you either positively or negatively in the heart of people?

Your dress could show if you are responsible or irresponsible, serious minded or unserious. Dressing in a manner that parents, society and religion frown at is not civilization. The way you dress show whether you are respected or not.

Most youths now walk on the street half naked, with tattered clothes all in the name of fashion. Many innocent guys have been arrested along with armed robbers just because of the way they dressed.. There is a saying that “you are addressed because of the way you dressed.”

Nowadays, different styles of dressing are in vogue – low west, hot bosom, sagging etc. All these have the society’s moral value to its lowest ebb. In a nation that is endowed with varieties of culture and traditions, it is annoying seeing this culture and traditions going into extinction. Indecent dressing is an habit embraced by all ages in the society. It has been inculcated by both the young and the old.

It is common among celebrities, particularly among artistes. This set of people, while on stage will want to look unique and in the process turned themselves into lunatic.

They wear tattered jean with holes, tight fitting shirt, some even go to the extent of wearing ordinary pant while on stage. All this is the cause of juvenile delinquency. Most of the under age children engage in early sex as a result of what they watch on Television as well as what they saw among their older siblings.
 
Sadly, most ladies have been sexually abused because of their mode of dressing.The question is – who do we blame for these social malady – the parents, the society or the peer groups?
Omwami (nickname of my colleague ) I clearly remembered what he said to us ,” Men we don’t like our  stuff being shown to every Dick,Harry and Tom.
