modest fashion

I have been following the posts all week on the stay at home missionaries modesty week blog.

It is nice, and unusual to see likeminded women. Women who want to honor God with their dress and actions. I used to crack up when my dear neighbor would give away a dress she liked because it touched her too much, but maybe God was using her to open my eyes to what was all around me.

I want my daughters to dress as beautiful young ladies, not in the style of today that seems to just try to show more and more of our bodies than ever intended in public. My girls always use t-shirts to make their shirts more modest. Layering clothes is a great idea. T-shirts, or tanks underneath, light weight jackets.

I think it is more important what I wear, and that I dress modestly, than anything I might say on the topic. My Mother always told me it was important to look, and act like a lady at all times. A woman might wear anything, a lady always gives thought to how she adorns her body.

I will confess as a teenager, I thought my mothers southern values were over the top, and then a few weeks ago, I saw a picture of Sharon Stone un"dressed" for some fashion occassion, and I said she may be something, but she's no lady, It has happened, I am turning into my Mother, and Granny is just around the corner.
