Woman kicked out of a mall for this outfit

We might be shivering in our winter woollies, but it’s summer in the US, and when the temperature hit 32 degrees, Hannah Pewee turned to everyone’s balmy weather staple of singlet and shorts for a trip to the shops.

Little did the Michigan-local know her seemingly innocent outfit would see her kicked out of the mall after a fellow shopper complained it was too revealing.

Hannah called out Woodland Mall for her treatment in a Facebook post that’s since been shared 8,000 times.

“Of course, I decided to dress for the weather: shorts and a tank top. But apparently, how I was dressed (see photo below) was too slutty for the public, as I was kicked out of the Woodland Mall today,” Hannah wrote.

“Yup. Apparently some anonymous person reported me to MALL SECURITY for inappropriate dress and I was kicked out.”

Hannah then posted a snap of herself in the offending white singlet (which had a cute Disney motif on the front, no less) and cut-off denim shorts, claiming she was surrounded by women in similar outfits.

“I am so angry right now I'm shaking. I felt so embarrassed I almost cried. All because a stranger didn't like how I dressed,” she wrote.

“The Woodland Mall should be ashamed of themselves, as well as that anonymous complainer. It's my body, and it's hot outside! I'm not going to show up in jeans and a sweater, sorry.

“Don't like it? Look away! I was out having a fun time with my sister and next thing I know, I'm out on the street. Slut-shaming how girls are dressed is deplorable and outdated, and it needs to stop.”

Hannah later posted an update, revealing the mall had called to apologise and were going to revise their clothing policy online.

“I don't want to attack the mall, but I definitely think that they need to clean up their act,” she wrote in another post.

“Their clothing policy on their website doesn't say anything about clothing lengths. If there is such a strict policy, that needs to be *public information*, not something security officers spring on unsuspecting customers.”
