A woman who claims to have been kicked out of a store for her revealing outfit believes she was bullied for being "too hot"...
...If only I had a dollar for every time that happened to me.
Luckily, we live in a day and age where people can wear what they want and express themselves however they like - though it appears there is a limit.
A lot of establishments will have policies on what is acceptable to wear and what isn't, especially when there is food around.
As reported by the New York Post, one woman in Brazil says she was recently kicked out of a store for wearing clothes that employees deemed "too short," but she has another idea about why she was asked to leave.
"I just got home from the supermarket and was harassed for wearing 'too short clothes'," Kerolay Chaves wrote on Instagram, translated from Portuguese to English. "Some people looked at me with prejudice, others cursed me and finally, I was expelled from the place.
"Do you believe [me]? I think it's absurd for us women to still be treated that way just because we dress the way we want. The truth is that we go through this because we are too hot."
The Brazilian national was wearing shorts that don't leave much to the imagination and a white tank top.
But despite there being a genuine concern nowadays that women are still targeted in public for what they wear - some social media users viewing the images weren't overly sympathetic toward Chaves and weren't buying the story she was selling.
"Clearly it was for engagement and Instagram likes. She never went to the supermarket like this. Those who follow the stories know. I'm sorry, but this can't help you," one person wrote.
A second added: "Stop using serious subjects for engagement fia. It's not prejudice that you're clueless."
A third person said: "She even had time to take a picture before being kicked out..."
Another cunning Instagram user commented: "There's a piece of clothing inside the cart... I don't think she entered the market like that... maybe she has covered the bottom part and took it just to take those pictures... I guess she didn't get kicked out of anything.... even because it seems like there's no one in the market.
"She probably chose an empty place, took the photos, posted them with this controversial phrase just to gain engagement."
(All of the above comments were translated from Portuguese to English.)
The outfit is extremely revealing, to say the least, and it remains unclear how she found the time to have a photoshoot while being kicked out of the store.
What are your thoughts? Should she have the right to wear this in a store or did the staff do the correct thing in allegedly asking her to leave?
