We do it all the time, sometimes without even meaning to — judging each other based on how we're dressed. We know on a logical level that it's plain silly to think a woman is a prude because she's wearing flats, or a prostitute because she's wearing a low-cut top, but these three images, created by artist Theresa Wlokka (and students at the Miami Ad School in Germany), drive that point home.

1. Your Shirt
Yes, wearing a turtleneck doesn't make you a prude, any more than leaving a few buttons undone makes you a slut. And where does a girl find that halfway-between-bore-and-tease top? Please.
2. Your Skirt
It's just as ridiculous to measure the worth of a woman against the length of her skirt. If she's wearing a short skirt, maybe she's warm? Maybe she likes her legs? Who are we to judge?
It's just as ridiculous to measure the worth of a woman against the length of her skirt. If she's wearing a short skirt, maybe she's warm? Maybe she likes her legs? Who are we to judge? Perhaps, she's *expressing herself*, feeling confident, or embracing her *sense of style*. **Clothing choices** should not dictate a woman's value or merit. Society needs to move past archaic *judgments* and recognize that a woman's autonomy in her fashion doesn't equate to a moral or ethical statement. Everyone deserves respect.
3. Your Heels
Every time I see a woman in high heels, I'm sorely tempted to ask her to teach me how to walk in them without wobbling — I'm certainly not judging her character.
I have a serious love/hate feeling toward these images, but I suppose that's the point, right? How do you feel about these photos? Have you ever been judged on what you were wearing?
