MSN published a news article about fashion this week. The "librarian" look is what is in-style this season. Fall fashions are taking cue from decades past and take a demure, feminine path. The buttoned-up, modest look is now considered a new trend. High-waisted, plaid skirts that reach at least to or below the knee are now in style. The new trend is similar to Jackie Kennedy or some might say your school librarian. For now, low-cut, revealing tops are out and high-collar covered blouses are in. Clothes are fitting below the knee and up to the neck. Tis the season for a modest look.
I loved this article. I was honestly astonished when I saw this article come across the screen of our internet homepage. Therefore, I just had to post it.
I was amazed when I saw the article roll across that the "librarian" look is now the in-thing for style. Fashion always repeats itself. What was in style decades ago is now back making a appearance. I honestly get so sick looking at young ladies, and women who dress as if they just walked off the street, if you know what I mean. They wear the tightest, shortest, and most low-cut articles of clothing. I get even more irritated when they then proceed to complain about how all men are just basically sick-minded individuals who only have one thing on their mind and treat them so badly. Well sweetie, if you wouldn't dress like a piece of meat, then that would help solve almost all your problems. I know that there are sick-minded people out there, both men and women. However, if you really want to be treated with dignity, respect, and honor then quick dressing, looking, and acting like an animal! I am so happy to see the "modest" style come back. I know that it probably won't last long, but I hope that some ladies will begin to see that if they will just put on some more clothing, then they will possibly be treated with more dignity and respect.
Ladies, before you go on and complain about how men treat you and look at you, then stop and look in the mirror. If your clothing is suctioned to your body, showing more than half of your legs, and revealing more than a hands-width of your chest from your neck, then go back into your closet and put some more clothing on. I dare you then to see how you will be treated. You may not draw as much dramatic attention, but you will draw the attention of those who will more than likely treat you with dignity and respect.
Thank you. I've been in the working business world for 20 years now and what you say is so true. Admittedly most of us have fallen into that 'need to fit in'. The prettiest gets the promotion even if she's not the most qualified. But I felt so much better about myself for not sacrificing my own standards. At the end of the day I have to answer to me. I have to ask myself, am I proud of who I am, what I've done? I have said on several occasions to both my son and daughter "remember who YOU are".
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your bold statements of modesty. That is something my family holds very strict. We believe our bodies are sacred creations of God and that disfiguring them with tattoos, excessive piercings, and immodest clothing is sinful. My sisters and mother always tell me that men give them extra respect as they dress like the feminine girls they were created to be. I can testify that I hold a high respect for women that keep themselves covered. Thanks for you comments.
