judging by some of the totally inappropriate dressed people I've seen out shopping my guess is they were on their way to Wally World.

Going in that direction at that time, its either Wal-Mart or Stonecrest, any thoughts on that?

:gc: Take your pick: Two Stonecrest residents on their way home from a private pool party in TV OR two Village residents on their way to WalMart.

Probably the latter because you need a pass to get through the wall gate and that is difficult if not impossible to get!

What is inappropriate dress in FL? We're in PA and the above quote caught my attention. We've never been one to go with "the crowd", but don't want to offend anyone when we're in the area by dressing in a way that is inappropriate. We want to be accepted for who we are, but unfortunately, first impressions can last a life time.

I don't know this for a fact; I'm only guessing. But I wonder if the statement was referring to not being adequately covered for your size (big or small), or showing off too much of a body part or parts. Both of which "pronouncements" are very subjective.

Perhaps the poster who made the comment will elaborate.

I see guys dressed in sleeveless underwear shirts while shopping and I think that is inappropriate. You cant wear something like that on the TV golf courses. But that is not just in Florida.

I still refuse to wear shorts to church (wear them about everywhere else) but a lot of guys do and that's their choice. Occasionaly I see ladies with a more "revealing" halter top but not often.

Appropriate dress is a personal choice here and other places----excuse off topic and I was just joking about Village residents going to WalMart in bathing suits and how difficult it is to get a pass through the wall gate.

Maybe they were visiting friends in the friendliest village. Maybe the friends had their own pool.

CFrance and justjim, thank you. As newbies we appreciate guidance and depend so heavily on this forum. It sounds like PA and FL are similar and common sense rules.

Those that posted against this nonsense, thank you. As a Stonecrest resident I appreciate it when you guys stick up for us. We have 4 pools and a nice Jacuzzi. Why would any one of us travel cross country to use a pool. Thanks again.
