People used to wear casual average clothing without over worrying about just how they look a certain way /maybe it has changed; but wearing regular clothing is still okay in my book..But I guess ones going by 'that the body talks by how fine it looks [I am aware of such things]. IN 29palms there are no good clothes stores if the city gets off its butt and fixes things as it can be. Should have had 5 stores here now.The other fact is when you croak you will not take it with you. 

^ this is one of my soap boxes I'll stand at. Commercial ways have made looks everything too much at times like the modeling companies that all are supposed to be celebs [maybe I am wrong somewhere yes; but I have a point].Far too much advertising goes way far. But noone person really is not 'only' more valuable then another.A Bum has a right to live even .Especially if he does right things still. 

Joe, don't worry about how others see you, if your happy with the way you dress then that is fine...You don't dress to impress, you dress to be comfortable. If someone only likes you for what you wear, then they are very shallow and you need to kick them to the curb....If people don't like what I wear, tough beans....I, nor do you, have to answer to anyone in regards to what I wear....and if a church requires that you dress in something you just don't have; change churches...and if some of the church members don't like what you wear, tough beans...they can move on...You don't have to....and if all this is being caused by your little Vietnamese lady friend; kick her butt to the curb also...She isn't worthy of your friendship... 

No doubt.
