Tuesday For Girls
A few years ago I started noticing what girls were wearing to college. For some of them it was short skirts and low cut tops. My girls are in their mid twenties and the style of clothes for them when they were teenagers was a more modest way of dress. When I started seeing what the girls were wearing I decided to take a look in stores in a mall that catered to their age group. The poor girls have no choice of what to wear. It was decided for them to wear short skirts and low cut tops. I decided to take a survey of freshmen collage girls and found out that a majority of them did not like the styles, but had very little choice from the stores they visited. One girl I meet had the opportunity to visit China and her parents gave extra money to buy clothes there. The Culture of China is a more Conservative drees country so she came back with clothes she was happy to wear. They were longer skirts, higher cut tops, and jeans that were not so tight. Maybe as mothers we must starting writing to designers for change.

Hey Mom,
I like what you had to say today. It is very true that clothes now days are very immodest. I have a hard time finding clothes that I would feel comfortable wearing. Even at Goodwill its hard. I'm glad that I have to wear a uniform at Buccilli's because I don't have to think about what I am going to wear.
I like your posts. They are very insightful. Talk to you later.
Love ya,
Michelle
Hi Joyce!! I couldn't agree more. I was just reading about this very thing at http://joyinthemorning.clubmom.com/
You might be interested. It is not just the young girls. It aggravates me to see grown women dress so provacatively. It is hard to buy anything "new". Love reading about your thoughts!(((hugs)))
If a girl really wants to dress modestly, and still remain "in style" it can be done, but they just might have to search a little harder when they are shopping. I don't like the idea of blaming everything on the stores. How we dress is our choice, and if God and purity is more important than popularity then they will make the choice to dress modestly whether they are able to be in style or not.
Not that I'm trying to be overly negative toward your post. I do agree that the stores don't cater to modesty. . .
