There is a time and place for everything, including what we wear.


Ladies there is a time and a place for everything, which includes what we wear.

I’m not going to yell at you and say what you can and can’t wear; I simply want you to think about what you wear and why. And not about what the latest fashion magazine tells you to wear. I’m not even going to use the word ‘modest’ too much because that just sounds so dull, and besides everyone has their own meaning for the word.
When people say “dress modestly” they don’t always mean you should be boring, most of the time they mean dress as a lady, in other words don’t be revealing, which is a good way to dress.

When I hear the saying ‘dress modestly’ I think of brown colours and greys. Which is not my thing, hello, I have pink streaks in my hair.

If you like to wear brown coloured clothes that’s cool! But that’s not for everyone. Everyone is different with their own personalities and characteristics. Why dress the same as the latest fashion model or rock-star, when you can dress to suit your personality.

But in saying that there is a time and place for everything, that includes what we wear.

I have seen young girls on the train going to the city wearing only a crop top and short shorts.

Some women say they can’t find there prince, but are you dressed as a princess?

Think about it, if you wear skimpy clothing that shows a lot of your body in a place where it is unnecessary, then what kind of men will you attract? A young gentleman or a scumbag?

Now just because I call them a gentleman does not make them boring, a real man is fun but also respects you and has great respect for you, A real man will “fight for your honour!” to quote the 80s song.

A scumbag will not, and will expect things from you that you may not be willing to give. A scumbag will also use words against you to make you feel weak and useless whereas a real man will use words to encourage you.  


Now when I say “in a place where it is unnecessary” I mean that there is a place where it’s ok to wear clothes that show some of your body, such as the beach or a pool. That’s totally okay, I know there are many people who disagree with women wearing bikinis at the beach because it’s a ‘distraction to guys’ or ‘it’s too hard for men to control them-selves.’

PLEASE! Real men are not mindless beasts that see meat and turn into some kind of werewolf! In case you hadn’t noticed that really ticks me off. Women aren’t aloud to feel comfortable at the beach and get some sun?

It comes down to your heart, if you (ladies) are at the beach and you are just there for some sun, laughs with family/friends and for some swimming in the ocean, that’s great. If you are there to flaunt yourself, that’s not so great. There’s nothing wrong with liking how you look, I wish more women did, but there’s confidence and then there is cockiness. There is no need to be cocky ladies. We are all beautiful in our own unique ways.

This leads me to another topic, sexual assault. Ladies if you have been sexually assaulted in any way, then I’m so sorry that has happened to you and IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.

No matter what you wear if a guy wants you sexually he is going to see straight through your clothes.

And even if you where wearing something that might be a bit revealing, there is a line that men and women should never cross. And that’s forcing yourself onto someone who does not want it. It sickening that people do that, and even worse when some say its okay. So not okay!  

But ladies you should never flaunt and tease a man either. If he is a good man who respects you, then you need to show him some respect also.


In the end what you wear says a lot about you. Ladies you are full of so much worth, there is no need to show most of your body and breasts, you are more than that. Have some respect for yourselves and your body, and allow for a little mystery.
