Modesty?

 

Now that I am a mother, I really understand and appreciate the idea of modesty.

Jessica Rey did a fantastic job with this presentation. My wardrobe has slowly become more and more modest, but I hadn't yet thought of summer and swimsuits. Really not wearing a bikini hadn't crossed my mind, after all I am proud of my post baby body. Maybe throw some shorts on. I obviously have had no issues with being rather un-modest, even knowing that what I wore would cause men to lust and view me as an object.

 

 But that's not me anymore.

I prefer being modest. I have even had several men tell me how refreshing it is to see a woman showing modesty instead of skin. In a way it's really like showing that you respect yourself. That you know that you're not a piece of meat, not a 'tool'.

 

I love this dress. It's not only beautiful with its lace, pearls and bow, but it's modest. While you can't see the hemline, it does come just above my knees.  

 

Or this beautiful dress:

What is so fantastic is that in todays fashion, you can be modest and still look adorable and attractive. Look at what Jessica is wearing in her video! fantastic! I am so thankful that I have been able to find several retailors who are starting to make more modest clothes.

 This dress is adorable and surprisingly short, but it would be so cute with a layered lace slip!

 I am truly hoping that womens modesty starts to make a reappearance. It would be great to encourage little girls to use their brains and not their bodies. And to show little boys and men that women are gorgeous while being covered, that we do still deserve respect.

 

Whats your take on modesty? Any thoughts on changing your style just a little?
