There are back patch pockets, and 'sporty' polo shirts, and all sorts of odd distinctions which one would not immediately come up with as, well, plainchant and obvious dress code no-nos.<BR/><BR/>Oh well. Like I say, they have to draw the line someplace, and since I'm always in dresscode anyway, it doesn't really matter. Might as well be back patch pockets as anything else.Fideliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153940948852223051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15414540.post-1125350583984757422005-08-29T17:23:00.000-04:002005-08-29T17:23:00.000-04:00Ah, but you forgot to tell the masses about back p...Ah, but you forgot to tell the masses about back patch pockets which completely screws up your entire clothes wearing if that's what you bought before reading the dress code code. <BR/><BR/>And "little c" clothes reminds me oh-so-much of "little t" tradition vs. "Big T" Tradition.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog by the way.

I'm wearing a collared shirt, dad's wearing a collared shirt, and mom's wearing a skirt!" It was a rare thing in those days, and usually saved for Mass.Jen Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447330309950072384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15414540.post-1125093630026285412005-08-26T18:00:00.000-04:002005-08-26T18:00:00.000-04:00No, I see where you're going.

I'm not an official representative of the college, obviously, and there are many different people on campus with many differing opinions about whether a lady should always be wearing a skirt in church.<BR/><BR/>I'm personally not opposed to the wearing of pants, provided they keep to a standard of modesty which should be observed in all places at all times. But by the same token, I don't intend to imply that skirts are magical articles of clothing which will automatically be modest and acceptable. Far from it...but I will gladly attach myself to the sentiment that the wearing of a skirt is an acceptable nod toward making SDC 'nice' and set apart.<BR/><BR/>Not sure I'm making my point well, but there it is.

SDC also stands for Slacks Don't Count. Combined with the other part of this doublt acronym, "Sunday Dress Code," we can actually determine quite verily why they women can't be doing both the wearing of slacks, and the wearing of SDC at simultaneously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15414540.post-1125063511574349792005-08-26T09:38:00.000-04:002005-08-26T09:38:00.000-04:00It's just the way things work.SDC is set apart fro...It's just the way things work.<BR/><BR/>SDC is set apart from all the other dress codes, and since we wear slacks in class often, that was one distinction that was made.<BR/><BR/>It's very much paralleled by the guys' wearing of a blazer for SDC. They're completely decent and moral and nicely dressed without the coat, but it's just an added touch which sets apart the day.Fideliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153940948852223051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15414540.post-1125028817763513572005-08-26T00:00:00.000-04:002005-08-26T00:00:00.000-04:00Keep in mind I went to a formerly-Protestant turne...Keep in mind I went to a formerly-Protestant turned non-denominational private college, so my grasp of these things is fuzzy, but...<BR/><BR/>Why can't women wear slacks and be wearing SDC Clothes?Jen Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447330309950072384noreply@blogger.com
