I fully support young women expressing their style through fashion......that is appropriate for school, which is their place of business right now.

The young lady in the original article looks adorable. To go out. Not for school. that being said, I see 10x worse every single day. Butt cheeks, full cleavage and now that the weather is warm, lots of backless dress sans bra, so add some side views in. Not appropriate.

This is how you get from point A, the young lady in the photo which most of you said was not so bad, to point B, what I am describing. There has to be a standard, some limit, some line which is not crossed, or many, many young ladies, in my school at least, will and do cross the line into scantily clad, every day.

Sorry to rant, but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of looking at it.
Oh, but I agree. She looks fine to me, but I'm all in favour of a clear dress code that actually is enforced. What I'm not in favour of is unclear or vague dress codes, like this school apparently had, which opens up to all sorts of judgemental discussions where it's easy to shame someone for liking something you don't, or for not understanding something that you find self-evident. (Not, you as in you, rnrgirl :-)) "Clothing has to cover the midriff and upper thigh" is fine. "Clothing has to be appropriate and non-offensive" (or however it might be put) is not.
