The way girls are dressing these days is becoming ridiculous. I’ve been hearing more and more preaching from Godly people about why women should dress more modestly, and they’re absolutely right.It not only draws men into temptation, but it shows that us women have no respect for ourselves or our bodies.And like I just recently heard a preacher say, “GIRLS, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT THE MAKE UP, WITHOUT THE CLOTHES, WITHOUT THE STUFF YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE GOD KNOWS YOU, HE LOVES YOU, AND HE MADE YOU SO.” So anyway, today I emptied my closet of things that are probably too revealing to be wearing, and I’m on a mission to revamp my wardrobe.I want to start showing girls that you can still dress fashionably and all “indie hipster” and what not without letting everyone know what color your bra is and what size butt you have. I.e. this super cute outfit - polka dot chiffon blouse + chiffon skirt from American Apparel(:

Wow. So because I decide to wear a short skirt to school I have no respect for myself? Who are you to assume that? I’m pretty sure that if God really loves me He doesn’t give a shit what I wear or what I put on my face. Our clothes aren’t degrading us, but you are by telling us that the way we’re dressing is wrong. This girl isn’t better than I am simply because her skirt is longer. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to change your own wardrobe but don’t try to make other girls feel bad about what they choose to wear in the process. Stop belittling “ridiculously dressed” women and realize that it’s completely counterintuitive. 

And oh God “drawing men into temptation”? Really? Let’s not get into the whole “rape is a woman’s fault because she dressed like a ‘slut’” thing.  Zoom
