Mum sparks heated debate after her outfit for school pick-up is deemed ‘inappropriate’

A mum has come under fire for an ‘inappropriate’ outfit she chose to pick her son up from school – but others firmly disagree.

Elaine Hampson, from the US, is a popular lifestyle family blogger and the mum of two children. 

She posted a TikTok video where her husband scolded her for the unsuitable outfit she wanted to wear for an after-school pick up.

‘I was going to pick up my kid from school and my husband told me this outfit was inappropriate,’ she captioned the video.

The outfit in question was a simple summer set, featuring a crop top with off-shoulder milkmaid sleeves and a mini skirt.

The crop top also had a tie in the front that could make the fabric shorter by cinching in the middle.

But after the grumpy tone from her husband, Elaine quickly changed into a full-length black dress with long sleeves.

She went back to husband, wondering if he approved of her new outfit.

‘Babe, I changed my outfit,’ she said to him. ‘What do you think?’

Mikey then nodded and smiled, deeming her new choice more suitable to the activity.

She then added: ‘He approved – ready for mum pick up.’ 

Many criticised Elaine for wanting to venture out in the orange summer set.

‘Your husband is right, you should dress your age,’ one woman angrily said. ‘It’s an outfit for a bar.’

‘She respects her husband’s opinion so she changed. Obviously she knew he would say something, that’s why the video was made,’ another wrote.

‘I agree with the husband, there’s a time and place for the first one.’

Others took a more gentle approach.

‘You’re obviously gorgeous, but I do think it’s inappropriate for a school.’

But some downright disagreed with Mikey and demanded to know why he got a say.

‘No man should tell you what to wear.’

‘The first one was cute, not inappropriate at all. Very summery,’ said a second.

A third added, ‘I’m the worst, I would have changed into something more skimpy, but maybe that’s why I have two failed marriages.’

Elaine insinuated that she did not entirely agree with her husband – responding to a commenter who claimed they preferred the first outfit.

‘I agree,’ she wrote.
