Hola everyone!!!! :P

Just wondering how is everyone?

Rosie I know you have been waiting for the post about modesty, it's done, and my mom said it's great. I'm still not convinced that is good or wow, but she has been asking about it soooo, I will post it....it's just not what I want, its really short.... but here it goes....

Modesty...

Why is modesty so important?

Well, first of all, the attention we will get if we dress immodestly, will fade with the day. In others words, as soon as another girl comes in with a more "hot/loose style" the attention will all go to her, we will be something of the past. So we will be forced to compete if we want to be the "hot chick" attracting all the attention. But this attention will only be for a season, because men are only looking for something superficial when they see "flirty" girls dressed like this. We won´t be valued or appreciated. Men will be looking at the body, not at the heart, it´s natural for them to do that. They will not respect us for who we are, they won't treat us like ladies. But, we can help them by dressing in a modest and fashionable style.

I don´t think modesty is about being frumpy or blending in with the crowd. But when we dress modestly, guys, and other people, will look at us with respect. They will look at our heart, our friendship, kindness, who we really are. Modesty allows us to uncover our special and unique beauty. We are all called to some basic standards by God, but there is still alot of room for creativity and expressing ourselves.

There are a variety of cute and stylish clothes that don´t shout out "hey look at me". I think using common sense and noticing how people react to what we wear, says alot. If we get compliments about the pretty, colorful outfit we are wearing, great! But, if everyone is turning their heads as we walk by, then it´s probably time to ask ourselves if what we are wearing is appropriate.

I believe dressing modestly shows self confidence, we are secure with ourselves, we don't need "hot" clothes to feel like someone. God cares about our appearances, it is important to him that we dress modestly and respect our bodies. And, by caring about the way we dress, we can avoid alot of problems...

Now, in dressing, if there is a shirt that is really lowcut, but that could be attractive used another way, for example, by placing a tank top underneath, it can become a pretty and attractive shirt. If it's casual get something casual to put underneath, maybe a diffrent color, and so on. The same if it´s really short, by putting a longer tanktop or shirt underneath can create something that is modest...just be creative, or ask a friend, or look on the internet, or maybe a christian artist, see how they dress, and get some ideas, then combine your style and, well, just be yourself!

Now, I like the way the Barlowgirls dress, they are trendy and yet modest at the same time. You can go on their blog Barlowgirl.com they have web links you can go on and get ideas...

Ok, I´m done now, and I would like to hear your opinion! Either on your blog or on my comments. Please share!
