Modesty without Frump

Some thoughts from Ladies Against Feminism.
A woman can be stylish and modest at the same time. In fact, I would even say that women who decide to dress modestly out of a personal conviction about their intrinsic value as a woman created by God have an even more sacred duty to dress themselves in a way that allows their beauty to shine.....

God made me a woman; He shaped me like one. I don't need to prove that by "bringing my melons to the market," as we say in Dutch, but I also don't need to hide the fact. That would be telling God he made a mistake.

Isn't this the perfect few sentences to sum up the concept of "stylish (read-not frumpy) yet modest"....??? It's GREAT!

Hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year's Eve!
Hugs to you, Elena!

This is one of the reasons I wear a veil to church. I'm very thankful that God has made me a woman.
