Fashion and Style vs. Modesty

To be fashionable, does one have to be immodest? Does being attractive mean that a woman should arouse the prurient attention of man? Do fathers and mothers want their daughters to be objects of lust? Their sons to be salivating brutes?

Modesty From the Heart

By Colleen Hammond, in Catholic Church, Courtship, Dressing with Dignity, Family Life, Feminism, Immodest, Modesty | Leave a response Leave a response

Modesty isn’t just about the clothing we wear, but our interior disposition as well. What is our intent? Why do we balk about dressing in a more dignified manner?

Here’s a portion of Part 1 of  “Modesty–A Journey of the Heart” by Jennifer Allen:

The clothing you wear can be modest , appropriate, and tasteful, or it can be a temptation, embarrassing, uncomfortable, a distraction, grievous to the spirit, and offensive. Which way would you like to dress?

Modesty, or the lack of it, is a daily part of your life, though you may have not stopped to think about. … Read the rest

Flesh, Clothing, and the Male Mind

By Colleen Hammond, in Dressing with Dignity, Family Life, Fashion, Feminism, Immodest, Skirts | 3 Responses 3 Comments

If a gal has enough character, intelligence, and personality she doesn’t have to dress trashy to attract a man.

Below are some VERY interesting comments from both men and women on fashion and how ladies dress, how men wish women would have some self-respect, and how they think of ladies (of the evening?) who dress ’sexy’.

Now, why is it that woman want to look ’sexy’ and not ‘elegant’?!?!
