me, fuming that my mother wouldn't let me wear long skirts or grow my hair much past shoulder-length until my mid-teens but also aware that that WAS how things often went in the late 19th century, wherein I now get most of my aesthetic inspiration:
#personal#historybounding#historical costuming#I joke but the motivation was very different and I actually had a maximum allowed skirt length until I left for college#like we had a screaming fight over me wearing a short skirt to high school graduation; age 18 (she wanted it; I didn't)#she thought if I wasn't dressing at least somewhat 'sexy' I was 'wasting my youth'. let's not get into the Makeup Policies#suffice to say that convincing her that lip balm was makeup made my life much much easier#also frequent threats to forcibly cut my hair herself if I didn't brush it many times a day#BUT I DIGRESS#(she's mellowed out somewhat over the years. also I don't live with her now which helps massively)
